Ms Arijita Sinha Roy, Research Associate at the National Maritime Foundation, participated in the ROK Emerging Scholars Seminar organised by the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) under the Global South Think Tank Partnership Program on 22 April 2026 in New Delhi.
The seminar brought together scholars and policy researchers to assess the progress and challenges in India–Republic of Korea bilateral relations, drawing key insights from the recent summit marking the visit of President Lee Jae Myung.
In her presentation, Ms Sinha Roy highlighted the maritime dimensions of the summit’s declaration and joint statements. Particular emphasis was placed on the newly announced ‘Shared Vision for Operation of Yard Assisted Growth with Efficiency and Scale’ (VOYAGES), an initiative aimed at integrating India’s industrial scale with the Republic of Korea’s technological expertise to develop a cohesive maritime growth framework.
The discussion underscored the growing importance of maritime cooperation in strengthening the India–Republic of Korea strategic partnership, particularly in the context of evolving Indo-Pacific dynamics.
The participation reflects the National Maritime Foundation’s continued engagement in international policy dialogues and its commitment to advancing research on maritime strategy, cooperation, and regional connectivity.
