The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) held a meeting today with Korean agricultural and fisheries industries regarding a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) between Korea and China.

The meeting aimed to introduce the Korean government’s response policies and listen to opinions from the industries, as there are heightened concerns about the FTA.

Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Yoon Sang-jick presented on the progress of FTA negotiations, including the sixth round of talks between Korea and China in Busan last week, and promised to pay closer attention to sensitive products in future negotiations.

MOTIE plans to promote citizen-friendly commerce by enhancing cooperation and communication with industries for the Korea-China FTA.
