SEOUL, June 26 (AJP) - The World Federation of Overseas Korean Traders Associations (World-OKTA) signed a memorandum of understanding with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade's Guangdong committee and other global economic groups, laying the groundwork for a Korea-China trade expo set for Shenzhen in October.

The agreement was sealed on the sidelines of the 2026 Invest Guangdong Promotion Conference, held Monday in Beijing.

Through the pact, World-OKTA plans to weave together Guangdong's industrial infrastructure, the CCPIT committee's economic network and its own worldwide web of Korean business leaders to widen exchanges between the two countries' firms and open doors for Korean companies in the Chinese market.

"Shenzhen is an important bridgehead for Korean companies entering the Chinese market and a key gateway to the global market," said Park Jong-bum, chairman of World-OKTA., pledging to build the expo into a private-sector platform that could also spur joint ventures into third-country markets.
