S. Korea and U. S. to hold KORUS FTA talks Monday
Nov. 6, 2010
South Korean Minister of Trade Kim Jong-hoon and his U.S. counterpart Ron Kirk are to hold a two-day trade ministers’ meeting in Seoul on Nov. 8-9 prior to the Seoul-Washington summit to conclude talks over renegotiations of the South Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA).
South Korea’s Deputy Trade Minister Choi Seok-young and Assistant U.S. Trade Representative Wendy Cutler held two-day working-level discussions, but they failed to resolve outstanding issues.
Prior to final attempts for talks, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Kim Sung-hwan said there is “room for negotiation” over the sensitive issue of automobiles in an interview with KBS Radio.
