South Korea and the Netherlands have signed a deal to launch a working holiday program this week to give their younger people a chance to work and travel in the other country for up to one year, the foreign ministry said Wednesday.

The agreement was reached Tuesday between South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and the Netherlands' agriculture minister Martijn van Dam in Seoul, according to the ministry.

Under the deal, both will start a working holiday program on Saturday under which those aged 18-30 are allowed to travel and work in the other country for a maximum one year. Up to 100 people will be able to participate in the program every year.

The two countries had operated a test program for two years until May, allowing a total of 194 Koreans to travel and work in the European country.

South Korea has working holiday agreements with 21 countries and as of 2015, 37,833 people had taken part in the program.  (Yonhap)
