Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday reaffirmed India’s commitment to strengthening the India–South Korea Special Strategic Partnership as a delegation of Special Envoys from South Korea called on him in New Delhi.
The visiting delegation was led by former South Korean Prime Minister Kim Boo Kyum and included Rep Lee Kai Ho and DPK Supreme Council Member Song Sun-ho.
Taking to X, PM Modi posted, “Delighted to receive the delegation of Special Envoys from the Republic of Korea led by Mr. Kim Boo Kyum. Recalled my positive meeting with President @Jaemyung_Lee last month. India–ROK Special Strategic Partnership, which completes 10 years, continues to grow from innovation and defence to shipbuilding and skilled mobility. Close collaboration between the democracies contributes to peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.”
Earlier, the high-level delegation met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. Both sides discussed boosting cooperation in the economy, technology, defence, and maritime security, along with expanding people-to-people exchanges.
Taking to X, Jaishankar posted, “Delighted to meet RoK President Lee Jae Myung’s delegation of Special Envoys to India led by former PM Kim Boo-kyum this morning in Delhi. Discussed economic, technology, defence and maritime cooperation. As well as expanding people-to-people exchanges. India will engage the new administration actively and work towards further enhancing our Special Strategic Partnership.”
India and South Korea established a Strategic Partnership in 2010, which was elevated to a Special Strategic Partnership in 2015 during PM Modi’s visit to Seoul. The appointment of Special Envoys by South Korea aims to strengthen diplomatic outreach and prepare the ground for future summit diplomacy.
