South Korean President Lee Jae Myung Backs Atmanirbhar Bharat, Says India-Korea Can Give New Direction to Multilateralism

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung begins his first state visit to India, expressing strong support for Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives. Speaking exclusively to TOI, Lee emphasized that Korea and India must work closely as emerging global leaders amid geopolitical uncertainty, with both nations capable of giving new direction to multilateralism. He announced Seoul will fully back India's independent production of defence equipment, with the K9 Vajra howitzer project as an exemplary case. On critical minerals, Lee warned reducing excessive dependence on any single country had become a matter of survival linked to economic security. Both countries will cooperate on ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and diversify energy supply chains.
