South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's Diplomatic Tour: Bridging Asia

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is poised to enhance diplomatic and economic ties during his upcoming state visits to India and Vietnam from April 19 to 24, according to official sources.

Kicking off in New Delhi, Lee's visit, invited by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marks the first of a South Korean president in eight years. Key topics of the India summit include collaborations in shipbuilding, artificial intelligence, and defense, along with energy supply chains, as highlighted by a presidential adviser at Thursday's briefing.

Furthering his diplomatic mission in Vietnam, Lee will discuss the strengthening of relations, focusing on energy, supply chains, and cultural tourism, alongside investment prospects as both nations aim to elevate bilateral trade to $150 billion by 2030.
