New Delhi, (Asian independent) South Korea’s Defence Minister Suh Wook will be on a three-day visit to India from March 25 to March 27 to enhance bilateral military ties.

During the visit, Suh will meet his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh on March 26.

He will visit Agra on March 27, accompanied by Indian Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane, where Army paratroopers will give a demonstration of air insertion.

The Indian Air Force will also be out for the para drop of the entire battalion involving 700-800 soldiers, sources said.

The army is to give such demonstration to the visiting dignitary in wake of growing military ties with South Korea.
