New Delhi, December 28
In yet another move to boost India’s military diplomacy, Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane today proceeded on a three-day visit to the Republic of Korea (ROK).
During the visit, which would conclude on December 30, he would be meeting senior military and civilian leadership of the Republic of Korea, ministry of defence spokesperson said.
The visit, like his other recent ones to foreign countries, is aimed at strengthening military diplomacy.
The Indian Army chief earlier this month visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia from 9 to 14 December as part of India’s military diplomacy in the neighbourhood. This was the first visit by an Indian Army Chief to these two countries.
Recently General Naravane had visited Nepal and also accompanied Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla to Myanmar.
During his Korea visit, he is scheduled to call on the Minister of National Defence, ROK Army Chief, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Minister of Defence Acquisition Planning Administration (DAPA) to discuss avenues for enhancing India-ROK defence relations.
The Army Chief will also visit the Korea Combat Training Centre in Inje Country, Gangwon Province and Advance Defence Development (ADD) at Daejeon.
