The Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) urged China, Thursday, to put a bilateral dispute over a U.S. missile defense system deployed here behind it, and to resume full economic cooperation amid continued uncertainty in the global economy.

At a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Korea Qiu Guohong, FKI Vice Chairman Kwon Tae-shin called for the lifting of a ban on group tours to Korea, and the same treatment for Korean firms in China as their local counterparts, among others.

Kwon also said he was looking forward to discussing ways to enhance investment cooperation and people-to-people exchanges, asking Beijing to adopt a policy of openness to foreign direct investment in services.
