| Summary / Abstract (Note) | As a significant step in strengthening the India - Korea strategic partnership, New Delhi opened a defence wing in Seoul on November 6,2012,anticipating the possibility of altering the geo - political realities in Asia. This initiative has drawn attention from other neighbouring countries. In tune with nurturing defence cooperation between India and South Korea, the two players seem to have not only become bigger stakeholders in Asia, but also two have taken a position that provides aligned priorities on designing a strategic hedge against rivals of both countries. A series of interactions and achievements propelled by the two countries during the last few years has provided momentum and thrust to this partnership. Keeping in mind the regional geo - political underpinnings, will this nascent strategic cooperation lead to a greater and responsive high - technology collaboration? |
