OSAKA, Japan, June 28 (NNN-YONHAP) — The leaders of South Korea and India agreed Friday to step up efforts for synergy between their key diplomatic strategies aimed at broadening partnerships with more countries in Asia.
President Moon Jae-in and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had bilateral talks in Osaka on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit that kicked off here today.
“They discussed ways for expanding substantive cooperation between the countries and regional security conditions,” Cheong Wa Dae said.
They agreed to create “synergy by finding common ground” between South Korea’s News Southern Policy and India’s Act East Policy, it said, referring to Moon’s diplomatic policy of improving strategic ties mainly with the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and India.
Under the Act East Policy, Modi has sought to broadly promote ties with ASEAN and East Asia.
