China, Japan, ROK working together to advance FTA development: premier

China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) are working closely together to advance their free trade agreement (FTA) development, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said Thursday.

Li made the remarks at a press conference held after the conclusion of the national legislative session.

"The three countries are close neighbors, and we would like to establish a mini-pattern for the three markets to boost each other amid the global economic cooperation," Li said.

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.
