According to party sources, Gandhi is visiting South Korea as a member of an official Congress delegation that includes Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress.

The delegation is scheduled to meet key Korean corporates, like Hyundai, Samsung, and government industry bodies, university students, foreign policy experts and members of the National Assembly.
