South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said Sunday it has set up a “Korea-India Practical Cooperation Task Force” to carry out follow-up steps from the leaders’ summit.
The ministry said the new team will move quickly and systematically to implement the summit agreements across areas including the economy, culture, people-to-people exchanges and cooperation with local governments.
It said it will coordinate closely with relevant domestic ministries and agencies, and will actively use local networks in India, including South Korean diplomatic missions and honorary consuls.
The task force is led by the ministry’s Asia-Pacific director-general and launched with eight working-level officials from the Asia-Pacific Affairs Bureau, the Bilateral Economic Diplomacy Bureau and the International Legal Affairs Bureau. The ministry said it also plans to add staff.
The ministry said it held a video meeting Sunday with the South Korean Embassy in India and the consulates general in Chennai and Mumbai to discuss cooperation between headquarters and overseas missions.
