"We must always remember that we are a bridge between the Republic of Korea and China," Park Yo-han, managing vice president at the China regional headquarters of Korean Air, emphasized to CGTN digital reporter Shen Shiwei, having witnessed the dynamics of the Chinese market and China-South Korea cooperation for over two decades.

"The visa exemption policy will be an important catalyst for deepening mutual understanding and friendship," said Park, adding that he would also like to recommend Gyeongju, South Korea's historic capital with a thousand-year history, where the APEC Economic Leaders' meeting will soon be held, in addition to the well-known Seoul and Busan.
