Korea ranked 19th in 2008 UN trade report

The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) said on Aug. 29 that Korea ranked 19th in the UN trade report issued in 2008, with 52 Korean products listed as important export items worldwide.

KITA's latest finding is based on its analysis of the "Personal Computer-Trade Analysis System" report of the United Nations.

According to their analysis, Korea placed 19th with 52 top-selling Korean products in 2008, similar to its ranking the previous year, with the same number of products available globally.

In terms of top selling products, 16 out of 52 Korean products listed in the UN trade report in 2007 were replaced by another 16 export items the following year.

The new 16 best-selling Korean products listed in UN trade report in 2008 include flat-rolled steel products, marine propulsion engines, and parts and materials for batteries and optical filters.

Meanwhile, China topped in the UN report with 1,210 products in 2008, up from 830 in 2004. Among the listed products, the number of China's high-tech products grew from 50 in 2004 to 81 in 2008. Germany ranked second, with 860 products, followed by the United States with 587 items, Italy with 288 items, and Japan with 213 items in the 2008 report.

"The report showed that developing countries seem to be competing in medium and high technology product items, after outstripping industrialized countries in low-tech, light industry sectors," according to KITA .

KITA also urged Korea to focus on expanding its international market share of high-tech products in order to increase exports

लोकतांत्रिक जनादेश और दक्षिण कोरिया

दक्षिण कोरिया ने हाल ही में एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण राष्ट्रपति चुनाव के माध्यम से अपने लोकतांत्रिक विकास की एक निर्णायक दहलीज़ पार की है। यह चुनाव केवल राजनीतिक दलों या व्यक्तित्वों के बीच की टक्कर नहीं था , बल्कि यह शासन , जवाबदेही और राष्ट्र के भविष्य को लेकर व्यापक जनचिंताओं का सजीव प्रतिबिंब बन गया—जिसने पूरे देश में मीडिया सुर्खियों और जनचर्चा को गहराई से प्रभावित किया। हालांकि कुछ दक्षिणपंथी विपक्षी नेताओं ने चुनाव में अनियमितताओं का शोर मचाया , लेकिन इन आरोपों को न तो जनता ने गंभीरता से लिया और न ही मीडिया ने। आधिकारिक परिणाम एक स्पष्ट और निर्विवाद जनादेश के रूप में सामने आए , जो दक्षिण कोरिया के जागरूक और संलग्न मतदाताओं की स्पष्ट इच्छा को दर्शाते हैं। डेमोक्रेटिक पार्टी के ली जे-मयोंग ने एक सूक्ष्म रूप से रणनीतिक और समावेशी चुनाव अभियान चलाया , जिसका उद्देश्य राजनीतिक ध्रुवीकरण को पाटना था। उन्होंने केवल पार्टी के परंपरागत समर्थकों को ही नहीं , बल्कि उन मध्यपंथी और उदार दक्षिणपंथी मतदाताओं को भी संबोधित किया , जो बढ़ती राजनीतिक कट्टरता से थक चुके थे। उनका चुनाव...

Korea takes a step towards reverse discrimination and a proactive immigration policy

In a misguided attempt to help multiethnic families and their children and to bolster falling birthrates, the Korean government took another small but important step towards reverse ethnic discrimination both as a means to aid multiethnic children as well as encourage more multiethnic unions. According to reports, all "multicultural" children regardless of income will enjoy free daycare services from the government starting next year, the government announced Thursday. About 28,000 multicultural children are expected to benefit. Children between birth and age five will be eligible and under the program, parents will receive a state subsidy to enroll their multicultural child in daycare centers. Currently, only parents who earn less than 2.58 million won are eligible. Korea Times welcomes reverse discrimination While we personally find any form of legalized racial discrimination appalling, the Korea Times newspaper appeared to cheer the decision in an editorial that in...

Couples bridge the divisions between Koreas

Northern women, southern men offer look at consequences of reunification They first met at a matchmaking party in April 2008. Like the other men, Jang Seok-do, 43, handed out his business cards to a couple of ladies. One was Kim Hye-young, 37. After the party ended they got back to their lives. A few days later, Kim said she suddenly got the urge to call a few of the men who had given her their cards, but most of them sounded as if they’d already forgotten the light-hearted party where they exchanged glances over tea and cookies. Jang was different. “He was extremely pleased to hear from me because there was no way for him to contact me without me reaching him first,” said Kim, her accent betraying her birthplace in North Hamgyong Province. It was the beginning of a romance between a South Korean bachelor and a woman from the North who had crossed the border. The party where the two met was organized by the city of Anseong, Gyeonggi, to encourage marriages between South Korean men and ...
