International Activities

 
To enhance international economic cooperation and promote trade, KCCI has established Bilateral Economic Cooperation Committees with 42 nations.
Each committee holds a meeting with its foreign counterpart to provide Korean and foreign businessmen with an opportunity to discuss trade, investments, technology and other issues. Participants examine bilateral economic relations, identify problems, formulate solutions, and explore cooperative undertakings.
KCCI has also exchanged protocols of cooperation with a total of 80 countries around the world.


There is nothing that cannot be solved through dialogue. KCCI organizes various functions to allow distinguished figures from abroad, such as heads of state, ministers and leading businessmen, to meet with Korean business leaders.
These meetings enhance mutual understanding and provide a forum for an exchange of views on economic cooperation and other matters of mutual concern.


KCCI provides support for foreign trade delegations so that they can achieve their objectives in Korea. KCCI provides a wide range of services by arranging their meeting with Korean manufacturers and traders, and hosting seminars on investment so that they can make the visits more efficient and productive.


In a world where countries are becoming interdependent, the role of international organizations increases furthermore.
In this regard, KCCI is participating in events hosted by international organizations on behalf of the Korean business community.
To begin with, KCCI participates as a member to the world's largest non-governmental economic organization, the International Chamber of Commerce(ICC), and also to the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry(CACCI). With respect to the above-mentioned membership, KCCI established the Korea National Committee of the ICC in 1959, to convey the Korean position in formulating ICC policies and recommendations.
As a member of CACCI that seeks to promote economic cooperation and exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region, KCCI is carrying out activities in many fields including trade, investment, human resources development and so on. Also, KCCI is maintaining a close relationship with numerous international economic organizations working to promote the common prosperity of the world community, such as United Nations Development Programme(UNDP).


KCCI explores new trade and investment opportunities by dispatching trade missions and market survey teams to a number of foreign countries every year.
In particular, as interest in overseas investment grows among Koreans, KCCI is often sending out business delegations to investigate investment climate abroad.


KCCI receives thousands of inquiries by foreign companies who are looking for trading partners in Korea, such as manufacturers, exporters and potential buyers.
Such overseas inquiries are introduced to Korean companies through KCCI websites. KCCI is also providing information on Korean companies to foreign companies so that they can contact Korean companies directly. Moreover, KCCI is providing on the spot consulting service to foreign visitors on issues of trade and investment.


As a only authorized organization in Korea to certify trade documents KCCI issues certificates that are mandatory for import-export transactions to its members. As for the certificates of origin, the number of issuance reaches several hundred thousand cases every year. KCCI also helps its member companies that travel overseas by issuing ATA Carnets for trade samples and exhibits to facilitate customs clearance.
