Manmohan Singh meets South Korean President in Hanoi | | Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met South Korean President Lee Myung-bak ahead of the eighth India-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit, and the fifth East Asia Summit in Hanoi here on Friday. The meeting lasted for
about 30 minutes and took place at the Daewoo Hotel here. The issue related to
the 12-billion-dollar POSCO steel plant project of South Korea did not come up
for discussion, sources said. The project, which is the largest foreign investment
project in India , has got stuck because of environmental clearances even after
delays. "We reviewed the relationship and the considerable progress made in the
relations since President Lee's visit to India during Republic Day," they said.
Discussing G-20 issues, Singh and Lee felt that there has been some development
and there should be a regular mechanism for implementation of the decisions taken
in the forum. South Korea is hosting the G20 summit next month. |
