Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday left for home after wrapping up his six-day tour that took him to China, Mongolia and South Korea where he held bilateral talks and signed many pacts to bolster India’s relations with the three countries.
“My visit to the Republic of Korea has been very satisfying. I thank the Korean people & Government for their warm hospitality,” Mr. Modi tweeted before he emplaned for Delhi from here after meeting Busan Mayor Suh Byung-soo.
‘Fruitful meetings’
“Meetings with President Park Geun-hye and business leaders were fruitful. Many aspects of strengthening India-Korea cooperation were discussed. I leave with the confidence that our ties will get even better and our relationship will benefit the people of our nations,” he said.
Mr. Modi, who began his trip in China, held wide-ranging talks with the leadership of the three nations and also wooed investors for his ‘Make in India’ campaign.
In South Korea, the final destination of his three-nation tour, Mr. Modi and Ms. Park held discussions and resolved to add “new substance, speed and content” covering defence, trade and investment, and regional cooperation to take the bilateral ties to a higher level.
South Korea decided to provide $10 billion to India for infrastructure, development of smart cities, railways, power generation and other diversified areas as the two countries agreed to upgrade their bilateral ties to a “special strategic partnership.”
Mr. Modi’s visit to the three countries also had its share of light moments as he was seen clicking selfies with leaders and common people, shooting arrows and playing musical instruments.
