India's role in the Korean War
With having no specific geopolitical interests in the Korean Peninsula and maintaining a neutral position before and during the war years, New Delhi had played a significant role during the Korean War for the reunification of the peninsula.
At the United Nations, India took a position of finding a solution to the pressing issue of the future of the prisoners of war.
