INDIA and South Korea have signed six agreements today (22) to enhance cooperation in key areas, including infrastructure development, media, start-ups, combating trans-border, and international crime during Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's visit to the country.   

Modi is on a two-day visit to South Korea to strengthen India's strategic ties with South Korea.

A pact was signed between Korean National Police Agency and the India’s ministry of home affairs to enhance cooperation between the law enforcement agencies of the two countries and combat trans-border and international crimes.     

Another agreement was signed for releasing a joint stamp, commemorating Princess Suriratna (Queen Hur Hwang-ok), a legendary princess of India’s Ayodhya, who went to Korea in AD 48 and married King Kim-Suro. 

A large number of Koreans trace their ancestry to the princess.         

The two sides also signed an agreement to continue operations of the Korea Plus organisation that facilitates investments by Korean companies in India.

Trump promises TikTok deal before April 5 to prevent ban

As the clock ticks towards the April 5 deadline, the future of TikTok in the United States remains uncertain, with President Donald Trump promising that a deal to resolve the app's ongoing issues will be struck before the deadline. The central issue at hand is whether TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, will be forced to divest the popular social media platform or face a ban in the U.S.

In a statement made aboard Air Force One late on Sunday, Trump confirmed that there was "tremendous interest" from potential buyers looking to acquire TikTok. He expressed his desire for the platform to "remain alive" and emphasized that multiple buyers were keen on striking a deal, suggesting that a solution would be reached before the deadline.
