New Delhi:

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar will tomorrow leave on a four-day official visit to South Korea during which the 'Make-in-India' initiative will be under focus.

"Talks will include wide-ranging subjects including collaborations in defence products," Mr Parrikar said.

Interacting with reporters, he said FICCI is also sending a business delegation.

This would be his second overseas visit. He had last month undertaken a visit to Japan.

Enhancement of bilateral military ties between India and South Korea will also be discussed, including the possibility of increasing exchanges of personnel and joint exercises.

Defence sources said that India is keen on discussing projects that will involve South Korean companies setting up shops and producing defence-related equipment.
