STOCKHOLM, July 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said Monday negotiations for a South Korea-EU free trade agreement (FTA) have been concluded and called on negotiators to quickly sign the accord.

"We two leaders welcomed the final agreement on the Korea-EU FTA," Lee said in a joint press conference with Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt of Sweden, which holds the six-month rotating EU presidency until the end of this year.
