The Korea-India Future Association, led by Shin Bong-gil, will hold a special lecture on July 21 at the Seoul Club, featuring Lee Seong-ho, the South Korean Ambassador to India, and Cho Chung-jae, head of the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) Delhi office. The topic will be 'Korea-India Economic Cooperation and Investment Prospects.'

This event follows President Lee Jae-myung's state visit to India in April and his summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during which the two countries reaffirmed their 'special strategic partnership' for the next decade. They also agreed to resume negotiations on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and expand cooperation in strategic industries such as shipbuilding, AI, defense, and arms.

Ambassador Lee Seong-ho will discuss 'The Current Situation in India and Korea-India Economic Cooperation,' providing insights into India's political and economic environment and the direction for expanding bilateral cooperation.

Ambassador Lee, a seasoned diplomat with experience as the Economic Diplomacy Coordinator and head of the Economic Security Task Force at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was appointed as the South Korean Ambassador to India in October 2024 after serving as Ambassador to Italy in 2022.

Following this, Cho Chung-jae will present on 'The Current Status and Outlook of Korean Investment in India,' covering the local investment environment, opportunities in key industries, and strategies for corporate entry.

The Korea-India Future Association stated, "This will be a meaningful opportunity to hear directly about practical economic cooperation and ways to expand corporate entry following the summit. We welcome not only our members but also entrepreneurs, startups, researchers, and students interested in the Indian market and business to attend."

The event will take place on July 21 from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Hall of Hallasan, Seoul Club in Jangchung-dong.
