2015 marks the 10th anniversary of China Chile free trade agreement. Jorge Heine, Chilean ambassador to China, hails the China Chile free trade agreement as a good example for bilateral FTA deals.
"If anyboday would like to see a prove of how these agreements work, all they need to do is to look at the China Chile experience...It is woking very well for both parties," Heine said.
Chile has aboundant resources in minerals, forests and fishery stocks. A decade after the FTA, China has become the dominant importer of Chile's copper products, fruits and wine. But for Chile, they see more opportunities.
"We are particularly excited about the possibility to exporting more food to China....There is potential in the Chinese market for that," Heine said.
On FTA expansion with China, Ambassador Heine says both countries are seeking to expand the FTA categories.
