Published :August 2007

New Delhi. India and South Korea have decided to strengthen bilateral cooperation in defence, basically in ship building.

South Korean Defence Minister Kim Jang Soo paid a four-day visit to India May-end, and while in New Delhi, met with host Defence Minister A K Antony.

According to a Defence Ministry statement, the two leaders discussed “matters of mutual interest” and agreed to strengthen cooperation, “which includes training of Armed Forces personnel, exchange of visits and strengthening the mutual cooperation between the Coast Guard of two countries and widening the scope of sea-lane communications.” The statement said: “India and Republic of Korea signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Defence Logistics and Supplies in the year 2005. This was the ﬁrst ever visit by any Korean Defence Minister to India. The visit by the Korean Defence Minister is expected to give a boost to the existing Defence Cooperation between India and Republic of Korea.”

The South Korean Defence Minister also visited Western Naval Command Headquarters at Mumbai later today.

Republic of Korea is a pioneer in shipbuilding and has a thriving Private Sector Defence Industry. Korea has built ships for India, including for ferrying Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from Qatar to Gujarat and Kerala.
