China, Japan, ROK working to advance FTA development, says Chinese Premier

BEIJING - China is continuing to push the concept of a Free Trade Agreement with Japan and South Korea. China's state newsagency, Xinhua, quotes Chinese Premier Li Keqiang as saying the three countries are "working closely together" to advance their free trade agreement (FTA) development.

It quotes Li as saying: "The three countries are close neighbours, and we would like to establish a mini-pattern for the three markets to boost each other amid the global economic co-operation." 

"For example, China and the ROK recently opened a fast-track service for personnel interflow in commerce, technology and other areas, which will facilitate work and production resumption," Li added.
