Additionally, he has extensive experience in multilateral integration negotiations such as: World Trade Organization (WTO), Codex Alimentarius (FAO / WHO), Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC); among other. His ability to work as a team stands out.

From March 2019 to date, he oversees the commercial office (OFICOM KOREA-PROCHILE) of Chile in Korea and the agricultural office (OFIAGRI KOREA) of Chile in Korea.

Additionally, both offices support SUBREI in the implementation of the Chile-Korea FTA and in the negotiation process for its modernization.

Finally, OFICOM Korea also supports the attraction of Korean investment to Chile in a joint effort with the Chilean Embassy in Korea and InvestChile for the promotion and foreign investment in new energies, where Chile has clear potential.
