This is the first time in two years for the association to send a delegation to other countries.
KOIMA Chairman Kim Byung-kwan, who will lead the delegation, plans to meet with Mustafa Gultepe, head of the Turkish Exporters Assembly, and sign a memorandum of understanding to boost trade among companies of both countries.

In addition, the KOIMA chief will meet with heads of Turkish institutions dealing with raw materials and energy, in order to talk about the trading of certain products that can improve supply chain resiliency.
