Government officials say South Korea will resume imports of American beef from Thurday.
The decision follows weeks of anti-government protests over food safety. South Korea and the United States agreed last week to restrict US beef exports to younger cattle, believed to be at less risk of mad cow disease. But Korean activists have vowed to keep rallying against new President Lee Myung-bak, calling for a complete renegotiation of the original April beef accord. Lee's government has rejected a renegotiation, saying it would erode the country's international credibility.
