NEW DELHI (AA) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday met with his South Korean counterpart Yoon Suk Yeol in India for talks.
The leaders held a closed-door meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in the capital New Delhi.
Earlier, Erdogan also held a session with the leaders of MIKTA, a partnership between Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, Türkiye, and Australia.
Political relations between Türkiye and the Republic of Korea were established on Aug. 11 in 1949, with Türkiye’s recognition of the country as an independent state. Türkiye’s participation in the Korean War created a special bond between the two nations.
Diplomatic ties were established in 1957, and relations upgraded to the level of strategic partnership in 2012.
