Yonhap reported that a South Korean delegation will head to India this week for talks with counterparts over India’s trade restrictions on South Korean steel and chemicals. South Korea’s foreign ministry said “A group of government officials from the South Korean foreign affairs and trade ministries will meet Sunil Kumar, an official at India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry and Rasika Chaube, an additional secretary at the Ministry of Steel, between Wednesday and Thursday.”

Ministry said “During the talks, the delegation will explain to Indian officials the difficulties South Korean firms are facing due to the trade measures and relay concerns over the matter. They will also ask India’s cooperation for fairness and transparency in the probes into the South Korean goods.”

India has stepped up restrictive measures, including higher tariffs, on South Korean steel and chemical imports.
