The head of Resolution and Collection Corp. voiced willingness Friday to boost ties with the planned state-backed industrial revival body that will be tasked with buying bank loans extended to troubled firms in an effort to help rehabilitate the companies in question.

"I expect that a liaison conference between us and the preparatory office of the new institution will be convened," RCC President Akio Kioi told a news conference.

RCC is a state-run debt collector that buys up banks' bad loans and tries to recover as much money as possible.
