China, ROK aim to settle sea boundaries

China and South Korea said maritime demarcation talks will officially start in 2015, with the goal of eliminating one of the few concerns in the thriving bilateral relationship.

President Xi Jinping and his South Korean counterpart Park Geun-hye reached the agreement during their meeting in the Blue House, the executive office and official residence of heads of state of South Korea, on Thursday.

The two countries have overlapping claims on exclusive economic zones.
