India and South Korea have deepened their cooperation in defence, cybersecurity, training, and United Nations peacekeeping operations. The two nations signed agreements to drive collaboration in defence production, maritime security, emerging technologies, and regional security.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Korean counterpart Ahn Gyu-back discussed steps to strengthen defence ties, leveraging India's Act East Policy and South Korea's regional strategic vision.
The Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) reflect the expanding scope and depth of the bilateral partnership, covering cooperation between India's National Defence College and Korea National Defense University.
Singh also held talks with Lee Yong-cheol, the Korean Minister of Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA), to harness symbiotic efforts for joint development, production, and export of military hardware.
The India-South Korea defence industry business roundtable brought together senior government officials and leading defence industry representatives to explore new opportunities in defence manufacturing, co-development, and co-production.
