As part of India’s All-Party Parliamentary Delegation, we began the first day of our outreach in Seoul with a detailed exchange with Ambassador Amit Kumar, who outlined the roadmap for our Korea engagements and underscored India’s unflinching commitment to combat terrorism globally. We also held insightful discussions with some of Korea’s foremost strategic thinkers, including former Vice Ministers, Ambassadors and leading voices from the country's top think tanks. The dialogue spanned issues of peace, regional stability, and strengthening multilateral efforts to confront the threat of terror. In my intervention, I specifically highlighted the deep cultural bond that Koreans share with Kobiguru Rabindranath Tagore, whose timeless poem ‘The Lamp of the East’ continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Koreans. It is a matter of great pride that his words are still taught in Korean schools and remain embedded in their textbooks even today - A testament to the enduring spiritual and civilizational connection between our peoples. India and South Korea stand united in our unwavering commitment to combat terrorism in all its forms. Together, we reaffirm our shared values of peace, resilience and justice in the face of such global threats.
