out in the following paragraphs : 2. Both the parties shall, within the framework of their respective laws and regulations in force from time to time, afford necessary
facilities for the import/ export of commodities mentioned in the Schedules ‘A’ and ‘B’. 3. The two parties shall provide reasonable facilities for import into and export from either country of commodities not specifically
mentioned in the Schedules ‘A’ and ‘B’. 4. Each party shall give full consideration to suggestions that may be made from time to time by the other party for facilitating
the import into one country of commodities which are available for export from the other. 5. Each party shall subject to prices and quality being satisfactory, give full consideration to suggestions that may be made from
time to time by the other party for the development and expansion of commerce and the diversification of trade between the two countries.
6. The two parties shall accord to the commerce of each other treatment no less favourable than that accorded to the commerce of
any third country. The above provision shall not, however, apply to the grant or continuance of any : (a) advantages accorded by either of the parties to contiguous countries;
(b) advantages resulting from any Customs union or free trade area to which either of the parties is or may become a party;
(c) preferences or advantages accorded by India or the Republic of Korea to any country existing on the date of this Arrangement

of commodities between the two countries. 8. Mercantile ships of both countries, while entering, staying in or leaving the ports of either country, will enjoy the most favoured
facilities granted by their respective laws, rules and regulations to ships under third country's flag. This principle shall not,
however, apply to ships engaged in coastal navigation. 9. Payments under this Arrangement shall be effected in U.S. dollars or pounds sterling or in any other convertible currency acceptable
to both countries. 10. In order to facilitate the implementation of this Arrangement the two parties shall consult each other as and when necessary
and also review the working of the Arrangement at least once a year. 11. The present Arrangement will come into force from the date of its signature, and shall remain valid for a period of two years
in the first instance and shall continue to be in force from year to year unless either party gives to the other at least 90 days’
written notice of its intention to terminate the Arrangement. I shall be grateful if you will kindly confirm that this letter sets out correctly the understanding reached between us.
