From Chips to Ships: Assessing the Modi–Lee Summit and the Road Ahead

This roundtable will discuss the significance of President Lee Jae Myung’s 2026 visit to India and its implications for the India-South Korea partnership. It will examine cooperation in trade, shipbuilding, technology, energy, and defence, assess persistent structural challenges, and explore how both countries can translate summit commitments into sustained strategic outcomes.

June 10 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm

This roundtable will discuss the future of India-South Korea relations following President Lee Jae Myung’s April 2026 visit to India, which produced a wide range of agreements in shipbuilding, critical technologies, energy, defence, and people-to-people exchanges. While the summit has been presented as a major step forward, the discussion will examine whether it marks a genuine strategic shift or another ambitious moment in a partnership that has often fallen short of expectations. It will explore the prospects for deeper cooperation in key sectors, the challenges posed by trade imbalances and implementation gaps, the significance of initiatives such as CEPA 2.0 and South Korea’s participation in India’s strategic frameworks, and the institutional measures needed to ensure that the momentum generated by the summit leads to lasting outcomes.
