Hu will attend the summits respectively on the invitation of ROK President Lee Myung-bak and Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, Hong said.
The fifth G20 Summit, an international forum on economic cooperation among the world's 20 major economies, will be held from Nov. 11 to 12 in Seoul.
During the APEC Summit, scheduled for Nov. 13-14 in Japan's second largest city of Yokohama, APEC members will focus on the changes needed to tackle the financial crisis and how they should be implemented, as well as discussing further integration of the regional economy.
This year's APEC chair Japan has presented "Change and Action" as the theme for APEC 2010.
