India and South Korea agreed to significantly enhance their economic partnership by setting a bilateral trade target of $50 billion by 2030 during a high-level summit in New Delhi. This initiative aims to nearly double their existing trade volume of $27 billion. The two countries also decided to resume negotiations to upgrade their Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), originally signed in 2009. Additionally, they established new mechanisms like the Industrial Cooperation Committee to boost collaboration in key sectors such as clean energy, semiconductors, and defence manufacturing, strengthening their strategic and economic ties.
