Lee Calls for Renewed South Korea-Mexico Trade Negotiations
Lee said restarting talks would deepen trade ties and give companies greater certainty as bilateral trade reached $20.6 billion last year, officials said.
- On Friday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung called for a swift resumption of stalled free trade agreement negotiations with Mexico, aiming to elevate bilateral economic cooperation that already contributes significantly to Mexican job creation and economic growth.
- Negotiations for the trade pact have stalled since launching in 2006, despite bilateral trade reaching $20.6 billion last year; Lee noted the two nations lack a comprehensive institutional framework supporting this economic partnership.
- Lee and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed on Thursday to a comprehensive action plan boosting cooperation in advanced industries, with Lee describing Mexico as a "key strategic platform" for entering North American markets via artificial intelligence, defense, and aerospace.
- Beyond manufacturing, South Korea's FA-50 fighter jet could support Mexico's modernization program, while Lee also proposed expanding energy and critical mineral supply chain partnerships alongside establishing a Korean cultural center.
- Combining South Korea's technological innovation with Mexico's manufacturing capabilities could "open a new stage in bilateral relations," Lee said, emphasizing institutional arrangements needed to provide greater business certainty amid global trade uncertainties.
