India’s external affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar seems to have conveyed this very candidly during his recent two-day visit to Seoul, marked by the 10th India-RoK Joint Commission Meeting (JCM).
The JCM was attended by representatives from several Ministries and Departments in the two governments. It provided the platform for a comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation.
Following Jaishankar’s interactions with the South Korean foreign minister Cho Tae-yul and national security advisor Chang Ho-jin, India and South Korea have agreed that given the two countries “special strategic partnership”, the two sides should further strengthen strategic communication and cooperation in the areas of defence and arms, establishing stable supply chains, critical & emerging technologies, semiconductors, green hydrogen and human resource mobility.
They also agreed to jointly contribute to regional peace and stability, as well as a rules-based order, within the framework of Korea's Indo-Pacific Strategy and India's vision for the Indo-Pacific.
Multifaceted relations between India and South Korea have increased significantly in recent years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Yoon Suk-yeol have met twice. Modi has been to South Korea twice, first in 2015 and then in 2019. President Yoon was in India in September 2023 to attend the G20 Summit in New Delhi, and his visit included an exclusive meeting with Modi to further augment the bilateral relations.
