U.S. President Barack will take questions from South Korean internet users online, during his visit to Seoul for the March 26-27 Seoul Nuclear Security Summit, officials at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul said.

“You can ask President Obama any question, and if selected he will answer it personally. Of course, he cannot answer all questions submitted, but the 10 most interesting submissions will receive a signed copy of his book ‘The Audacity of Hope,’” the embassy said.

“The top three will receive a personal answer from President Obama.”

It is the first time that Obama has held such a program outside the U.S., officials said.

Internet users can submit questions through the U.S. Embassy’s accounts on Twitter, Facebook and me2day, a local social networking service, at twitter.com/usembassyseoul, facebook.com/usembassyseoul and me2day.net/usembassy.

All questions should be submitted by Thursday at noon.
