Young people from Korea and the Czech Republic will soon be able to take working holidays in each other’s countries.

The Czech and Korean governments have signed an agreement on a Working Holiday Program to allow people under the age of 30 from both countries to stay and work in the other country for a set period of time.

The agreement signed by the Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Karel Schwarzenberg and Korean Ambassador to the Czech Republic Gabriel Oh in December and will take effect in the first half of this year.

Once the agreement is fully ratified, it is expected to increase the number of young people traveling between both countries for work and cultural exchange.
