By Jon Grevatt

1/27/2010

India and South Korea have formally agreed to upgrade their relations to a 'strategic partnership' under which defence industry collaboration is anticipated to expand.

A statement published by Cheong Wa Dae, the South Korean Presidential website, on 26 January said that during a summit in New Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and visiting South Korean President Lee Myung-bak pledged to reinforce defence collaboration.

This collaboration will see the creation of a joint committee in the first half of 2010 to review both countries' defence requirements as well as potential areas of joint development. The statement added that this committee will facilitate an offer from Seoul to supply up to 60 KT-1 Woong-Bee intermediate trainers to meet Indian Air Force requirements.
