Chevron Corporation has expressed its support for the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, commending both negotiating teams for concluding an agreement that will advance the interests of both countries as well as enhance global trade, with all the attendant benefits to each country's companies, workers and consumers.
Chevron is a founding member of the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement Coalition and has worked closely with the U.S. negotiating team to ensure that strong investment protections were maintained. These protections encourage investments overseas that create opportunities in the United States and abroad.
"We congratulate President Bush and President Roh on reaching an outstanding agreement and we extend our deepest thanks to the negotiators from both sides. Chevron looks forward to actively working to build public and Congressional support for this important agreement," said Peter Robertson, vice chairman, Chevron Corporation.
