Visa applications to the Republic of Korea made through 52 travel agencies in China's three northeastern provinces have been suspended by the ROK consulate general in Shenyang, Liaoning province.
The suspension was announced in a notice issued by the consulate general.
Travel agencies said the decision is aimed at stopping Chinese agencies from doing business with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. However, the consulate general denied this, blaming the temporary suspension on travel agencies' business qualifications.
