SINGAPORE, DEC. 15. India and South Korea held the third meeting of their Joint Commission on a "very satisfactory" note in Seoul today. The External Affairs Minister, K. Natwar Singh, and the South Korean Foreign Minister, Ban Ki-moon, chaired the session. "Major bilateral issues of cooperation" in the economic and other spheres dominated the discussions, as the panel considered steps to implement the "Long-Term Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Prosperity" agreed upon during the South Korean President, Roh Moo-hyun's visit to India last October, P. S. Ray, India's Ambassador to South Korea, said on the telephone from Seoul. The focus was on the possibility of commencing a "foreign policy and security dialogue" at the bilateral level early next year and the mandate of a joint study group (JSG) on economic cooperation. South Korea has, in recent years, emerged as a key economic partner for India. The Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh's recent proposal for the creation of an "Asian Economic Community" and India's efforts to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council were outlined by Mr. Natwar Singh during his talks.
