Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s paper ‘New Southern Policy and the Post-COVID Arc of India-South Korea Ties’ has been published in the Korean Institute of National Unification’s (KINU) compendium titled ‘Assessment and Tasks for New Southern and New Northern Policy from International Perspectives’ [no.15, 2020].
The paper argues that moving beyond ASEAN, India–South Korea relations must also navigate their bilateral ties to encourage growth in other regional forums of cooperation. While ASEAN is central to NSP, the policy also aims to further co-prosperity with the South Asian region, and India should take a stronger note of it.
