Kwon Hye-jin, Director General for FTA Negotiations at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources and Korea’s chief negotiator, met with her UK counterpart, Adam Fenn, Deputy Director at the UK Department for Business and Trade, together with delegations from both countries at the sixth round of Korea–UK FTA upgrade negotiations on Monday, November 10, at Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido.
After delivering opening remarks, the two sides held detailed negotiations across eight subcommittees, covering areas such as services, investment, digital trade, finance, and general provisions.
During his visit to the negotiation venue, Trade Minister Yeo noted that the upgraded Korea–UK FTA is expected to become a modern and comprehensive agreement covering not only expanded market access but also emerging issues such as supply chain resilience and digital trade norms. He encouraged both delegations to make every effort to resolve the remaining issues and conclude the negotiations swiftly.
