Advocacy

Seventeen committees. Eight forums.

Committees are the chamber’s advocacy platforms and, in its own words, the centrepieces of its activities. Comprised of participating member companies, they discuss industry-wide trade issues with Korean counterparts, receive updates on government policy, taxation, legislation and regulation, represent industry-specific issues to the Korean government, and exchange information through networking and educational seminars.
