Chile is also exploring new trade discussions with South Korea and Ecuador. Agreement with Trinidad and Tobago: In negotiations since 2021, this treaty would facilitate trade in the Caribbean, with a focus on energy, tourism, and agriculture. India: The expansion of the Partial Scope Agreement, signed in 2017, would provide greater market access for Chilean products in India. Indonesia: The CEPA, in effect since 2019, is being expanded to include trade in services, opening new opportunities for Chilean companies.
