The deal aims to promote trade between respective markets.

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) in an effort to promote economic cooperation between the two countries last November 15.

Under the deal, HKTDC and KOTRA will be able to freely exchange information on economic cooperation, trade facilitation and share business opportunities in their respective markets.

The sectors covered under the memorandum include creative industries, service industries, start-ups, technology, lifestyle products, food, toys, gifts and housewares.

Korea is Hong Kong’s sixth largest trading partner and fifth largest source of imports.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
