The Republic of Korea and China will include goods from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's Kaeseong industrial region in their free-trade talks, an ROK official said.
The inclusion will help improve relations, ROK Deputy Trade Minister Choi Seok-young said at a Seoul briefing on Thursday.
Kaeseong industrial region was formed in 2002 and now employs about 50,000 workers.
