According to sources cited by The Korea Herald, the lists of delegation members for both India and Vietnam have been finalized. The Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) will oversee the India leg, while the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) will manage the delegation to Vietnam. Each delegation is expected to include around 200 business leaders.

The delegations are scheduled to attend business forums in India on Monday, April 20, and in Vietnam on Tuesday, April 21. They are also expected to meet with senior government officials in both countries.

Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo are expected to participate in both legs of the trip, reflecting their extensive business interests in the two markets.

Vietnam has become a key production hub for Samsung, particularly in smartphones and electronic devices. LG has also expanded its footprint in the country, including in automotive components and research and development.

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, who also serves as Chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is expected to lead the delegation to Vietnam while skipping the India leg.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Group will be represented in Vietnam by President Sung Kim, a veteran diplomat overseeing external and governmental affairs.

Given the significant presence of South Korean businesses in both countries, industry officials say the trip could pave the way for follow-up investment plans or new partnerships in sectors such as semiconductors, automotive, electronics and energy.
