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.

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.
