(MENAFN- QNA) South Korea's Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj will hold a meeting in Seoul next week to discuss issues ranging from security to energy cooperation, the foreign ministry said Tuesday.
The South Korean foreign minister and India's top diplomat will meet to exchange views on how to cooperate in such sectors as defense, trade, and science and technology, Seoul's foreign ministry said.
The planned meeting is expected to bolster Seoul's plan to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Seoul next year, it added.
"The talks are expected to serve as an occasion to deepen and expand the strategic partnership that the two nations agreed upon in 2010," Noh Kwang-il, a spokesman at the foreign ministry, told a regular press briefing.
Swaraj will be India's highest-ranking official to visit Seoul since Modi took office in May.
