Kim Yong-hwan, Chairman & President, K-EXIM, and Nayar exchanged this MoU in the capital today during the occasion of Korean President Park Guen-Hye’s state visit to India.

The MoU covers cooperation in project finance in infrastructure projects, investment finance in infrastructure projects and other finance areas of mutual interest.

Speaking on the occasion, Nayar said that there is good demand for quality infrastructure in the country.
