SEOUL (AFP) - – South Korea, Japan and China will hold talks this week to launch a joint research project into a possible free trade pact, officials said Monday.
 
The meeting involving government officials, scholars and business representatives will be held in Seoul on Tuesday, the South's trade ministry said.
 
"This will be a preliminary meeting to launch joint research on a trilateral free trade accord," a ministry official told AFP.
 
The three countries agreed at their summit in October 2009 to push for the joint research.
 
South Korea has been actively pushing for free trade agreements worldwide to bolster its export-dominated economy.
 
It already has free trade agreements with Chile, Singapore, India, the European Free Trade Association and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
 
A free trade pact was signed with the European Union in October 2009 and awaits ratification. A deal signed with the United States in 2007 also needs ratification.
