Subsequently, the seventh round of negotiations were launched to follow-up consultations between the Republic of Korea and Chile when Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo visited Chile in last October 2022.

 

Director Ahn, Prior to negotiations, stated that “the Korea-Chile FTA signed in 2003 was Korea’s first FTA, and since then, bilateral trade has grown five fold and largely contributed to trade expansion," 

 

“We will make the utmost efforts so that the Korea-Chile FTA can become a new cooperation platform for responding to supply chain, energy, resource cooperation, digital trade and other facets of the changing trade landscape,” he added.
