On 5 June 2018, the Consul General attended the Inaugural Ceremony of Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry in South India (KoCham) at the ITC Grand Chola, Chennai. Presently, there are 450 Korean firms in South India and 6,000 Koreans residing in this region. In Tamil Nadu alone, there are 350 Korean firms. The prime objective of the chamber is to promote the rights of Korean companies and create jobs for the young Koreans as well as the locals. The chamber is hopeful that with the establishment of KoCham, the relationship between South Korea and the Southern States will be further strengthened.
