India -- home to 1.35 billion people -- is an important diplomatic partner for South Korea as the Moon Jae-in government seeks to widen its diplomatic horizons beyond the four regional powers surrounding the Korean Peninsula – the US, China, Japan and Russia.
To this end, in late 2017, the Moon government launched its New Southern Policy to deepen ties with India and ASEAN’s ten member countries.
During Moon’s visit to India in February 2019, Moon and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to expand their bilateral trade, which was estimated at about $20.6 billion last year, to $50 billion by 2030.
