South Korea – Australia Diplomatic Relations

Korea and Australia established diplomatic relations in June 1961, with Australia's participation in the Korean War providing the historical foundation for a lasting bond. The Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA), in force since December 2014, significantly deepened bilateral trade. The two countries cooperate closely in defense, intelligence, and regional security. Australia is Korea's second-largest source of LNG imports and a critical supplier of iron ore and coal for Korean steel production.

South Korea – Australia Trade & Economy

Australia is one of Korea's top five trading partners. Bilateral trade in 2023 totaled approximately $35 billion — Korean exports (vehicles, machinery, and electronics) at around $10 billion and imports from Australia (LNG, iron ore, coal, and beef) at roughly $25 billion. Korea runs a substantial trade deficit with Australia due to its heavy reliance on Australian energy and mineral resources. Korean cumulative investment in Australia exceeds $10 billion.
