Seoul - Yonhap
Working-level officials of the South Korean and Chinese foreign ministries have agreed to step up efforts to set up a Chinese consulate general on South Korea's southernmost tourist island of Jeju, the Seoul ministry said Saturday. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said Baik Joo-hyeon, the head of the ministry's consulate bureau, met his Chinese counterpart in Seoul on Friday for the agreement made to cater to a growing number of Chinese tourists and immigrants to the local island.
