韩国和马来西亚自贸协定重启谈判
韩国产业通商资源部20日宣布，韩国和马来西亚之间的自由贸易协定（FTA）第四轮谈判于当天在吉隆坡正式启动，为期四天。这是自2019年9月进行第三轮谈判后，时隔五年重启谈判。
此次重启的谈判旨在扩大范围，从原先的商品领域拓展至服务、投资、数字、环保、生物等领域，以签署涵盖市场开放和经贸新规则的自贸协定。产业部表示，在东盟成员国中，马来西亚是韩国第三大贸易伙伴及第四大投资国，两国贸易结构高度互补，签署自贸协定有助于巩固韩国对东盟的贸易与投资基础。
韩联社报道指出，韩国和马来西亚重启自贸协定谈判，显示出双方加强经济合作、推动区域经济一体化的意愿。这一举动也反映了韩国对于东盟市场的重视，以及在全球化背景下，通过自由贸易促进经济增长和合作的战略考量。
随着谈判的进行，双方有望在服务贸易、投资规则、电子商务、知识产权保护等领域取得实质性进展，为两国企业和人民带来更多利益。同时，这也将为韩国与东盟国家的经贸关系注入新的活力，促进区域内的经济合作与发展。

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of the Republic of Korea announced on the 20th that the fourth round of free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations between South Korea and Malaysia officially commenced in Kuala Lumpur on the same day, lasting for four days. This marks the resumption of negotiations that were last conducted in September 2019, after a five-year hiatus.
The resumption of these negotiations aims to expand their scope, extending from the original focus on goods to encompass services, investment, digital, environmental, and bio-related sectors, with the goal of signing an FTA that covers market opening and new economic and trade rules. The ministry stated that Malaysia, as Korea’s third-largest trading partner and fourth-largest investor among ASEAN member countries, has a highly complementary trade structure with Korea. Signing an FTA will help solidify the trade and investment foundation of Korea in the ASEAN region.
According to the Korea Exchange News, the resumption of FTA negotiations between South Korea and Malaysia demonstrates the willingness of both sides to strengthen economic cooperation and advance regional economic integration. This move also reflects Korea’s emphasis on the ASEAN market and its strategic considerations of promoting economic growth and cooperation through free trade in the globalized context.
As the negotiations progress, both sides are expected to make substantive progress in areas such as services trade, investment rules, e-commerce, and intellectual property protection, thereby bringing more benefits to businesses and people in both countries. Additionally, this will inject new vitality into the economic cooperation and development of Korea and ASEAN countries, as well as within the region.
