SEOUL, March 31 (Reuters) - LG Chem 051910.KS CEO Kim Dong-choon told reporters on Tuesday after its annual shareholder meeting in Seoul that it was difficult for the company to secure additional naphtha from Russia.

Kim confirmed that the company imported 27,000 metric tons of naphtha from Russia on Monday, which was allowed with the U.S. easing sanctions.
