South Korea and the United States have agreed to reduce inconveniences South Korean travelers experience when entering the US mainland, the transport ministry said Wednesday.

"The TSA has regarded South Korean airports and airlines as top-tier ones in terms of aviation security control and management.
Such an analysis allowed the US to sign the agreement," a ministry official said.
South Korea is the first Asian country that has signed such an agreement with the TSA, the statement said.
The ministry plans to have working-level talks with TSA officials with an aim to reduce those inconveniences beginning in late 2020, he said. (Yonhap)
