South Korean President Lee Jae-myung called for a swift resumption of negotiations on a comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA) with Mexico during a business forum in Mexico City, Yonhap News Agency reported Sunday.
Lee said South Korea is Mexico's fifth-largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching $20.6 billion in 2025, according to the report.
Despite the strong trade ties, the two countries have yet to establish a CEPA, Lee said, stressing the need to strengthen their institutional framework amid growing uncertainty in global trade, according to the news outlet.
