South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is expected to visit India this year and the two countries are hopeful of concluding ongoing negotiations to upgrade the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) existing between the two countries, said South Korean envoy Chang Jae-bok said on Wednesday.
“During the last round of talks on CEPA upgrade held in January in Delhi, negotiators on both sides have committed to conclude talks within this year. Possibly before the visit by our President, we hope to conclude the negotiations,” Mr. Chang said in a press interaction.
On the possible timing of the Mr. Yoon’s state visit, the South Korean Ambassador to India stated, “We will have an in-depth discussion on it after the election, but hopefully the visit will happen within this year.”
