India, South Korea discuss deepening engagement across trade, technology and defence
Jun-25-2026

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, currently on a two-day official visit to the Republic of Korea (ROK), has held talks with his South Korean counterpart Cho Hyun on strengthening bilateral cooperation and addressing developments in the rapidly evolving global landscape. The talks reviewed progress on commitments made during President Lee Jae-myung’s state visit to India in April, particularly in the areas of trade, investment and finance.

Jaishankar said the two sides assessed cooperation across a broad range of sectors, including political, shipbuilding, trade, investments, defence, technology, clean energy, culture and people-to-people domains. They also discussed opportunities in areas like startups, fintech and multilateral forums, and exchanged views on developments in their respective regions and around the world.  

Jaishankar emphasised that as foreign ministers, it was their responsibility to take the relationship forward and build a more forward-looking, contemporary partnership. He noted that the full potential of the India-South Korea relationship is yet to be realised and reaffirmed India’s commitment to further strengthening the partnership.
