Dear Members and Friends,
I am grateful for the opportunity you gave me to assume the presidency of the ITCCK in 2023. It has been a great honor, and I am fully committed to fulfilling this responsibility with the utmost dedication. I deeply value the trust placed in me and am eager to contribute to the organization's success.
In 2023, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ITCCK) significantly expanded its activities following the long period of pandemic limitations. The primary focus of the year was to strengthen relations between Italy and Korea at both institutional and private levels and to reinforce our membership base
Throughout 2023, ITCCK confirmed its unwavering commitment to supporting Italian companies venturing into the Korean market. We provided personalized assistance, tailoring our services to the unique needs of each company. This commitment extended to both Korean and foreign companies with operations in South Korea, further solidifying our role as a trusted partner in the business community.
I would like to warmly welcome Her Excellency, the Italian Ambassador Emilia Gatto, who recently assumed her role in South Korea. Since her arrival, she has shown steadfast support for all the Chamber's initiatives. My deep appreciation also goes to all the Embassy staff, as well as to the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), for their unwavering support. I eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration within the so-called “Sistema Italia.” Furthermore, I extend my gratitude to all the Italian Chambers and Government Institutions for their invaluable guidance.
Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to our dedicated and growing membership base. Your satisfaction remains our highest and overarching priority.
Wishing every member of our esteemed Chamber a year of prosperity and success in 2024. We are incredibly excited about the diverse range of activities and initiatives you are bringing to the table, and we are committed to further enhancing our support for all the endeavors of our valued members.
Let's work together to make 2024 a year of outstanding achievements and collective success.
Here's to a year of growth, opportunities, and triumph for all!
ITCCK: Italy & Korea, closer than ever.
ITCCK President
Andrea Verazzi
