We present results from a ∼55 ks long XMM-Newton observation of the obscured AGN; NGC; 5643; performed in July 2009. A previous; shorter (about 10 ks) XMM-Newton observation in February 2003 had left two major issues open; the nature of the hard X-ray emission (Compton-thin vs. Compton-thick) and of the soft X-ray excess (photoionized vs. collisionally ionized matter). The new observation shows that the source is Compton-thick and that the dominant contribution to the soft X-ray emission is by photoionized matter (even if it is still unclear whether collisionally ionized matter may contribute as well). We also studied three bright X-ray sources that are in the field of NGC 5643. The ULX NGC 5643 X-1 was confirmed to be very luminous; even if more than a factor 2 fainter than in 2003. We then provided the first high-quality spectrum of the cluster of galaxies Abell 3602. The last source; CXOJ143244.5-442020; is likely an unobscured AGN; possibly belonging to Abell 3602. © 2013 ESO;
