South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol expressed optimism on Sunday about enhancing the special strategic partnership with India, marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations. Yoon commemorated the enduring ties between South Korea and India since their official establishment of relations on December 10, 1973, as reported by Yonhap news agency.
"Celebrating 50 incredible years of friendship between South Korea and India! Look forward to collaborating with PM Modi to bolster our Special Strategic Partnership," Yoon conveyed, referring to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The South Korean President previously engaged in discussions with Modi in September during the G20 summit in New Delhi, where both leaders affirmed their commitment to strengthening "strategic" communication and cooperation.
Notably, the official elevation of their relationship to the status of a "special strategic partnership" occurred in 2015, reflecting the deepening and evolving collaboration between South Korea and India over the years.
