Ulsan, South Korea: Shipbuilding is one of the top priorities for India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the chairman of Korean manufacturing giant Hyundai Heavy Industries on Tuesday.
"Shipbuilding is a top priority for us." PM Modi tells Kil Seon Choi Chairman of Hyundai Heavy Industries," tweeted external affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup.
