Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources (MOTIR) delivered opening remarks while presiding over the Public-Private Meeting on Strengthening Responses to Trade Barriers held on Tuesday, November 18, at the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) conference room in Seoul.
The meeting brought together KOTRA, KITA, the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Korea Iron & Steel Association, and representatives from relevant ministries, agencies, and industry associations to review Korea’s overall trade barrier response system and discuss improvement measures in depth.
Trade Minister Yeo noted that the conclusion of the Korea–U.S. tariff negotiations comes amid a structural shift in the global trade environment, and stressed that MOTIR will lead a more assertive trade policy response while supporting the overseas expansion of K-beauty and K-fashion companies. MOTIR also announced that it will work jointly with relevant ministries and agencies to publish the Korean version of the National Trade Estimate (NTE) Report in the first half of next year.
