On September 3, 2015, the ambassador from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Kyung-lim Choi gave a lecture to the students of the FTA Commerce and Strategy program under the topic, “Trade and Agriculture Sector in Korea.”
The seminar was given for the purpose of helping students to understand the current changes in trade policy, and look into the advantages and disadvantages Korea has in distinctive industries. The Agricultural sector is the weak point of Korea’s trade negotiations, which involves many exceptions in applying free trade policies. Ambassador Choi focused on the prospects of the agricultural industry, explaining how the agricultural sector is different from any other sectors, and how the sector should be expanded by introducing the actual cases of bilateral trade negotiations.
