Preparing for Post-COVID-19, with the '3 Non-Face-to-Face Trade Information Packages'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) Trade Support Center will promptly deliver trade information through its KakaoTalk channel to help our trade industry prepare for changes in the trade environment and global protectionism following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Starting from the 15th, the KITA Trade Support Center announced that it will establish the KakaoTalk channel 'Kkatong' and launch an email trade newsletter and a dedicated website. Every Friday, it will provide a summary of the week's trade issues, and anyone interested in trade, not just corporate trade officers, can subscribe.

Since March, the center has also been sending a daily 'Trade Newsletter' containing trade-related news and the latest reports to government and corporate officials. The service has received great response from the industry, with subscribers exceeding 1,300 shortly after its launch.

The newly established Trade Support Center website (tongsang.kita.net) comprehensively provides KITA trade reports, trade information by overseas regions, reports from foreign institutions, and major domestic and international news articles. It is optimized for tablet PCs and mobile environments, allowing convenient access regardless of time, place, or device.

Je Hyeon-jeong, Director of the Trade Support Center, stated, "In the current reality where face-to-face business is difficult due to the COVID-19 situation, we will continuously provide the latest trade information to the trade industry through various non-face-to-face channels, and in the future, we plan to expand the service scope to include educational content and consulting."

The trade newsletter emailing service can be subscribed to on the Trade Support Center website (tongsang.kita.net), and the KakaoTalk channel can be found by searching for 'Kkatong' in the friend search.
