Seoul, June 24 -- External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday highlighted the importance of deepening India-South Korea ties amid a challenging global environment, saying countries with shared values and mutual trust need to work together more closely.

In his opening remarks during a meeting with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun in Seoul, Jaishankar said, "It's a great pleasure to be back in Seoul and to meet you and your team today for our discussions. And I agree with you, I think our meeting is very timely. Timely partly because we are following up on a presidential visit just recently. But timely also timely because of the state of the world and the importance of our relationship in this somewhat complicated world."
