BEIJING, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) — The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) is committed to building a high-quality platform and providing comprehensive services for business cooperation between China and the Republic of Korea (ROK), CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin said Monday.

He made this statement at the China-South Korea Business Forum in Beijing, organized by CCPIT and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Korea (KCCI). The event was attended by approximately 400 government and business representatives from both countries.

China remains Kazakhstan's largest trading partner for 21 years in a row.

The fact that hundreds of business representatives gathered here at the very beginning of 2026, despite their busy schedules, speaks volumes about the high expectations that business circles have for economic cooperation between the two countries, said Choi Tae-won, Chairman of KCCI and SK Group.

China and the Republic of Korea should leverage their complementary advantages through industrial innovation and stable supply chains, and work together to explore new opportunities outside their markets, according to Chinese entrepreneurs participating in the forum.

Overall, they noted that while strengthening cooperation in traditional areas, both countries should tap the potential of new areas such as artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals and green industry.

People-to-people exchanges form the foundation for interstate exchanges and cooperation. Following the mutual simplification of visa regimes between China and the Republic of Korea, exchange visits between young people from the two countries are becoming increasingly active.

Cultural tours to Seoul and visits to Korean-style beauty salons have become popular among Chinese youth, while flights to Shanghai after work on Fridays have become a new trend among their South Korean peers.

According to Ren Hongbin, CCPIT is committed to promoting the healthy and sustainable development of economic relations between China and the ROK, bringing greater benefits to the two countries and their peoples, and opening up new prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation. -0-
