Director General for FTA Negotiations Kwon Hye-jin at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) of the Republic of Korea is leading the Korean delegation in the seventh round of official negotiations for the Korea-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement (FTA) through February 17–20 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Malaysian delegation is headed by Senior Director for Strategic Negotiations Sumathi Balakrishnan at the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI).
Since the two countries jointly declared the resuming of bilateral FTA negotiations last March, the two sides have made swift progress through the ensuing fourth, fifth, and sixth official negotiating rounds.
In this seventh round, the Korean government is aiming to move negotiations forward in areas like goods, services, investment, rules of origin, and economic cooperation, with focus on bilateral economic expansion such as trade and investment promotion, as well as market access.
