China and South Korea will coordinate and establish a mechanism for the mutual recognition of their health codes, China s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday, in a move that would help further normalize business and tourism activities between the two countries.
Efforts by the two neighbors could also drive more Asian countries to set up health code recognition programs that could bode well for a regional economic rebound, industry observers said.
