South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper hailed the just-concluded free trade deal between the two countries as a "landmark achievement" Tuesday, saying it will bring about significant benefits for both economies.
Park and Harper held summit talks as the two countries announced they have a free trade deal after nearly nine years of negotiations. The deal calls for Canada to phase out tariffs on Korean auto imports in two years and South Korea to lift tariffs on Canadian beef imports in 15 years.
