About the Online Seminar This online seminar will explore the developing bilateral relationship between India and South Korea. Two of the most dynamic economies in Asia with shared foreign policy goals and democratic values, India and South Korea have developed a close partnership in the last two decades. They signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement in 2009 and a Special Strategic Partnership in 2015. Nevertheless, many observers argue that the relationship remains a case of unfulfilled potential. This seminar asks what draws India and South Korea together and what holds the relationship back. In particular, how do external factors such as the rise of China, challenge of North Korea and the growing global of economic instability affect the relationship.
