The agreement over the "two-plus-two meeting" was announced after Seoul's First Vice Foreign Ministry Lim Sung-nam held talks with his counterpart Preeti Saran and Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh during his three-day stay in India, which ends on Wednesday.

"(The two sides) agreed to strengthen strategic cooperation in the realms of politics and security by activating bilateral high-level consultation channels," the ministry said in a press release.

During his visit, Lim discussed with top Indian officials a range of issues, including bolstering cooperation in trade, investment, infrastructure development, culture and tourism, the ministry said. (Yonhap)
