This is just the second visit of the Minister after he assumed his current Ministerial charge.

On September 22, at the 7th ASEM meeting, Mr Prabhu reiterated India's commitment to promoting free and fair world trade, while emphasizing the challenges that lay ahead in ensuring free and fair trade as embodied in the WTO.

Later in the day the Minister met, the Chairman of Korea's ruling Democratic Party, Ms. ChooMi-ae and discussed the rapid progress in bilateral ties since the inauguration of President Moon Jae-in's administration in May 2017. Ms. Choo highlighted the importance attached by President Moon to the bilateral relationship with India and his commitment to elevate it to the next level. Calling India a shining star in the global economy, Ms. Choo noted that the "elephant was out performing the dragon". Later, Mr Prabhu met the Chairman and CEO of Korea's most influential media house, the Chosun Ilbo, Mr. Bang Sang-hoon to discuss bilateral economic ties, and to consider hosting the next India-Korea Business Summit at an early date, focusing on sectors which would energize the bilateral trade relationship.
