WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- American business leaders are reportedly urging the Bush Administration to provide a visa waiver for Koreans traveling to the United States.
The Korea Times said the call was reiterated during the Korea-United States Business Councils meeting, which ended its two-day session Wednesday in Washington.
The leader of the Korean delegation, Hyousung Group Chairman Cho Suck-rai, told the Korea Times American CEOs agreed to launch an aggressive campaign to enable Koreans to travel to the U.S. without visas.
The visa issue has become a high priority matter for Korean and U.S. businesses, especially since July when new anti-terrorist rules went into effect requiring personal interviews regardless of the purpose of the visit.
