South Korea – Nepal Diplomatic Relations

South Korea and Nepal established diplomatic ties in May 1974, and the relationship has grown steadily over five decades. Nepal is a priority partner for Korea's overseas development assistance (ODA) — Seoul has channeled over $279 million in aid since 1989, supporting infrastructure, education, and rural development. People-to-people ties are strong: Nepal is one of the largest sources of migrant workers under Korea's Employment Permit System (EPS), deepening the human connection between the two countries.

South Korea – Nepal Trade & Economy

Trade between the two countries is modest and Korea-heavy: in 2023, Korean exports to Nepal totaled about $30.6 million (mainly electronics, auto parts, and pharmaceuticals), while imports from Nepal came in at roughly $5.4 million. Korean businesses have invested a cumulative $231 million in Nepal since 1994.
