  • President Lee Jae Myung of South Korea attended the 26th ASEAN-Republic of Korea (ROK) Summit, and reaffirmed both sides’ commitment to further advancing the ASEAN-ROK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established last year, and discussed the future direction of cooperation.[52] Negotiations for the Malaysia-Republic of Korea Free Trade Agreement (MKFTA) was concluded in the Summit. The MKFTA covers goods, services, investments, customs facilitation, sanitary and phytosanitary, digital trade, green economy, bioeconomy and economic cooperation, with the Chapter on Economic Cooperation and Capacity Building being the key focus. The MKFTA is set to be Malaysia’s 19th free trade agreement to date as the country moves to diversify its export markets amid global economic uncertainties.[53][54][55]
