European poultry in South Korea - EU co-funded campaign gains momentum
SEOUL, South Korea, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With a strong emphasis on food safety, responsible farming, and high quality, European poultry is making a bold entry into the South Korean market. These core values took center stage during a high-profile press event held on 9 June in Seoul, officially launching local activities of the EU co-financed campaign "European Poultry – From Our Farms to Your Table."
The event, organized by the Poland's National Poultry Council – Chamber of Commerce (KRD), brought together journalists, culinary influencers, and industry stakeholders for an in-depth look at what sets European poultry apart: strict welfare standards, environmentally sustainable production methods, and robust traceability and certification systems.
The campaign's visibility continued throughout Seoul Food & Hotel 2025, one of the region's most influential trade fairs, held from 10–13 June. The event featured 1,639 exhibitors from 45 countries and drew over 55,000 visitors. The European poultry booth attracted a steady flow of interest from HoReCa buyers, distributors, and importers, with dedicated B2B meetings offering a platform to build valuable commercial relationships and share insights on EU production standards.
"Our presence in Seoul – both at the press event and the international trade fair – reflects our broader strategy to strengthen ties with Korean partners," said Dariusz Goszczyński, President of the Polish National Poultry Council – Chamber of Commerce (KRD)."European poultry is more than just a product – it represents a commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability. These are the values we are proud to promote across the Asian market."
The campaign is a three-year information and promotion initiative aimed at raising awareness of European poultry in South Korea.

China to keep anti-dumping steel duties on EU, UK, S. Korea and Indonesia
BEIJING - China will maintain duties on certain steel products from the European Union, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Indonesia, its commerce ministry said Monday, as overcapacity concerns drive global trade turbulence. The duties on stainless steel billets and hot-rolled plates, first levied by Beijing in 2019, range from 20.2 percent for Indonesian imports to 43 percent for those from the EU. China's commerce ministry said that an internal investigation found the potential termination of the anti-dumping duties could still cause "damage" to the domestic stainless steel industry. Authorities will therefore continue to impose duties on products from the three countries and the European bloc "for a period of five years starting from July 1", the ministry said in a statement. China, the world's largest steel producer, first took the measures in response to tariffs imposed on it by the United States during Donald Trump's first presidential term. The US tariffs were motivated by fears in Washington and among its allies that unfair industrial policies in China had led to a global glut of cheap exports, threatening to undercut local producers. Since returning to office in January, Trump has sent the world economy into a tailspin with a tariff blitz that has hit Chinese exports particularly hard. Trade tensions between the world's top two economies remain high despite China and the United States reaching a temporary truce to the tariff war this month. (AFP)

Turkey seeks renewable energy cooperation with Korea
Turkey is seeking cooperation with South Korea in renewable energy, said Zeynel Kilinc, vice president of Turkey's investment office in Seoul, speaking at an event on Tuesday. Kilinc highlighted the need for joint ventures and green technology partnerships with Korea, calling the country one of Turkey's most trusted partners. He noted that 420 Korean companies operate in Turkey in the automotive, steel and energy sectors, but said collaboration remains limited, urging joint efforts as both nations rely heavily on energy imports. 'The energy industry has great potential for collaboration. Both countries desperately need to diversify their sources of energy,' Kilinc stated. 'Your (Korean) expertise in areas like equipment manufacturing, renewable and conventional power plants, and battery storage perfectly complements Turkey's ambitions,' he said. 'Together, we can create solutions that serve our countries and contribute to the global green transition.' Kilinc said over 45 percent of his country's electricity came from renewables in 2024, with nearly 60 percent of total electricity generation capacity now green. Aiming for 190 GW of installed capacity by 2035 and net zero by 2055, Turkey is also emerging as a global green manufacturing hub, exporting to 45 countries. In a press release, the Turkish Embassy in Seoul reiterated the country's green energy transformation as part of its obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement and as a candidate country for EU membership. The embassy said that the country has launched the "Renewable Energy Road Map 2035" to guide its clean energy goals. With over 60 percent of its 115 GW capacity from renewables, Turkey ranks fifth in Europe and aims to reach 120 GW in solar and wind capacity by 2035 through $108 billion in planned investments, according to the embassy. sanjaykumar@

Saudi developer taps S. Korea as top partner for futuristic project
The head of New Murabba Development Company, the developer behind Saudi Arabia's futuristic urban development project, said Monday that South Korea has been chosen as the company's top partner for its advanced infrastructure and information technology capabilities, as well as its long history of collaboration with the Middle Eastern nation. "There is a long and strong history between the two nations of collaborating," said Michael Dyke, chief executive officer of the company, in an interview with Yonhap News Agency. "Working with countries and people we already know and share good alignment with is always a good start." New Murabba Development Company is set to hold the New Murabba Seoul Forum in Seoul on Tuesday and Wednesday to showcase its vision for building a new downtown in Riyadh. The event is expected to draw 500 participants, including company officials, government representatives and investors. As part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, the New Murabba project aims to develop more than 25 million square meters of floor area, including residential units, hotels, retail spaces, leisure facilities and community infrastructure. Dyke said the familiarity and history of successful collaboration led the company to choose South Korea as the first Asian stop for its global promotional campaign. He noted the legacy of South Korean construction firms in Saudi Arabia during the economic booms of the 1970s and 1980s, when they contributed to building key infrastructure, such as highways and port facilities, supporting the kingdom's petroleum-based economic growth. As its first partnership in South Korea, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with Naver Cloud Corp., a cloud services affiliate of IT giant Naver Corp., to collaborate on advanced technologies, such as robotics, autonomous driving and smart city platforms, over the next three years. Naver is already active in Saudi Arabia's digital transformation efforts, including the development of digital twin platforms for major cities like Mecca. "We have been in dialogue with a number of South Korean companies," Dyke said, adding that more opportunities will be available for Korean firms to join the megacity project through consortiums and partnerships in other sectors. On the topic of regional geopolitical tensions, Dyke stressed that the situation in the Middle East has stabilized in recent weeks. "We are not seeing any slowdown in terms of interest, economic activity or long-term planning," he said. The first phase of the New Murabba project -- including the construction of the city center and the iconic Mukaab structure -- is scheduled for completion by 2030. The entire city is expected to open by 2040, he added. (Yonhap)
