During his three-day visit to Seoul, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh signed significant agreements with South Korean Defence Minister Ahn Gyu-back to strengthen bilateral defence cooperation, particularly in defence cyberspace and military training. This partnership aims to enhance joint production of military hardware and address regional security concerns amid rising Chinese assertiveness. Singh reiterated India's commitment to a No First Use nuclear policy, asserting that while India seeks peace, it will not tolerate nuclear blackmail, implicitly referencing Pakistan. He described recent defence agreements as a testament to the evolving India-South Korea relationship, emphasizing the potential for collaboration in advanced technologies and defence systems. Singh also highlighted India's impressive defence production figures, projecting a rise to ₹1.75 lakh crore (approximately $21 billion USD) and an increase in defence exports to ₹50,000 crore (roughly $6 billion USD) within the next two years. The discussions also included cooperation in UN Peacekeeping missions and the need for rapid innovation in defence technologies, showcasing India's growing global stature as a reliable partner.
