Forty Years of India-Korea Relations and Looking Ahead

Since the formal establishment of diplomatic ties between India and the Republic of Korea in 1973, the two countries have made significant progress and are today strategic partners. They are also forging strong economic ties and have signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). This book brings together the contributions of a very distinguished set of experts and scholars on various aspects of India-Korea bilateral relations. The endeavour has been to review the evolution of India-Korea relations as well as highlight the opportunities and challenges in the coming years. The scope and potential for cooperation is substantial for both countries to build on the strong foundation that has been established in the last forty years and provide an archetype of a mutually beneficial relationship contributing to global peace and prosperity. How such a strategic partnership will unfold in years to come will critically depend on cooperation and commitment between the various levels of government and between the private sector and academia, among others.
