10月6日新西兰新闻秘书处消息，新西兰、智利和新加坡今天在巴黎的一次活动上欢迎韩国正式加入《数字经济伙伴关系协定》并与欧盟进入自由贸易协定的谈判。
贸易和出口增长部长达米安·奥康纳正在欧洲推动新西兰与欧盟自由贸易协定的谈判。他还参加了在法国举行的经合组织会议和在意大利举行的20国集团会议。 新西兰贸易部长达米安·奥康纳与智利贸易部副部长罗德里戈·耶兹、新加坡贸易和工业部长甘金勇和韩国贸易部长杨汉国一起参加了今年的经合组织部长理事会会议，讨论这一请求。
达米安·奥康纳说:”新西兰热烈欢迎韩国正式请求加入《数字经济伙伴关系协定》。扩大 DEPA 的成员资格增强了我们企业参与全球数字经济的能力，并深化了我们在数字贸易规则方面的合作”。 部长说: “数字贸易是新西兰经济复苏的关键组成部分，不受COVID-19的全球影响。全球数字经济的快速增长为我们的小型企业提供了在新市场竞争的重要机会。 COVID 看到许多消费者迁移到数字世界，以克服大流行病给生活造成的日常干扰。
韩国是三个创始成员之外第一个正式要求加入这一世界领先的数字协定的伙伴。在新西兰、智利和新加坡同意接受这一请求之后，《欧洲发展协定》缔约方和韩国之间现在将开始加入谈判。DEPA 是一个开放的多边协议，欢迎符合其标准的新成员加入。其贸易便利化措施，如无纸化贸易和更快的海关手续，使出口更容易和更容易为企业。DEPA 还包括在新兴技术和数字包容性等不断变化的问题上进行合作的创新承诺”。
新西兰、智利和新加坡于2020年6月签署了《欧洲发展协定》。韩国是新西兰的重要伙伴，有着牢固的贸易和经济关系。它是新西兰的第五大出口目的地。达米安·奥康纳通过美国前往欧洲，这是自2020年COVID-19爆发以来第二次部长级出访。
6 October 2021,New Zealand welcomes the Republic of Korea’s formal request to join the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA)
New Zealand, Chile, and Singapore today welcomed the Republic of Korea’s formal accession request to commence negotiations to join the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA) at an event in Paris.
Trade and Export Growth Minister Damien O’Connor is in Europe to advance New Zealand’s negotiations for a free trade agreement with the European Union. He is also participating in meetings at the OECD in France and G20 in Italy.
Damien O’Connor joined Chile’s Vice Minister of Trade Rodrigo Yáñez, Singapore’s Minister of Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong, and the Republic of Korea’s Minister for Trade Yeo Han-koo on the side-lines of this year’s OECD Ministerial Council Meeting to discuss the request.
“New Zealand warmly welcomes the Republic of Korea’s formal request to join the DEPA. Expanding the DEPA’s membership strengthens the ability of our businesses to take part in the global digital economy and deepens our cooperation on digital trade rules,” Damien O’Connor said.
“Digital trade is a key component of New Zealand’s economic recovery from the global impact of COVID-19. The rapid growth of the global digital economy presents significant opportunities for our small businesses to compete in new markets.
“COVID has seen many consumers migrate to the digital world to overcome the day-to-day disruptions the pandemic has caused to life.”
The Republic of Korea is the first partner outside the three founding members to formally request accession to this world-leading digital agreement. After New Zealand, Chile, and Singapore agreed to accept this request, accession negotiations will now begin between DEPA Parties and the Republic of Korea.
The DEPA is an ‘open plurilateral agreement’ which welcomes new members that can meet its standards to join. Its trade facilitation measures such as paperless trading and faster customs procedures make exporting easier and more accessible for businesses. The DEPA also includes innovative commitments to cooperate on evolving issues such as emerging technologies and digital inclusion.
New Zealand, Chile, and Singapore signed the DEPA in June 2020.
The Republic of Korea is a key partner for New Zealand with a strong trade and economic relationship. It is New Zealand’s fifth largest export destination.

Damien O’Connor’s travel to Europe through the USA is the second ministerial trip abroad since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.
