Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday extended his congratulations to Lee Jae-myung on being elected as the President of the Republic of Korea (ROK), expressing his commitment to further strengthening the India-ROK Special Strategic Partnership.

In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, “Congratulations to Mr Lee Jae-myung on being elected as the President of the Republic of Korea. Look forward to working together to further expand and strengthen the India-ROK Special Strategic Partnership.”

Liberal opposition leader Lee Jae-myung secured a decisive victory in the presidential election held early Wednesday. His win marks the culmination of months of political instability in South Korea, following the dramatic but short-lived declaration of martial law by the now-ousted conservative leader Yoon Suk Yeol.
