The two countries also discussed deepening collaboration in defence production, maritime security, emerging technologies, military exchanges, logistics, and regional security.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Korean counterpart Ahn Gyu-back acknowledged the growing convergence between India's Act East Policy and South Korea's regional strategic vision.
The memoranda of understanding (MoUs) signed reflect the expanding scope and depth of the bilateral partnership, with a focus on creating avenues for joint development, production, and export of military hardware.
Singh invited South Korean defence firms to deepen engagement with Indian industry and foster long-term mutually beneficial collaboration.
