...With liberation, due to
the confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union,
Korea's territory and people were divided and Koreans
tasted the tragedy of fratricide. Despite these facts,
the Republic of Korea made steady progress and continues
to make efforts to unify Korea's territory and
people.
During the past fifty years, the
Republic of Korea has made splendid economic
developments and has entered the threshold of an
advanced nation. Its industrial development has made it
into one of the top 11 trading countries in the world
and its enterprises and labor power capabilities have
made inroads overseas. The rapid development of Korean
communities in foreign countries is another special
feature in this growth.
Culturally, Korea has
now become an influence in the world. National education
has greatly expanded and science, arts and technologies
have also developed. The 1988 Olympics in Seoul was made
possible through the world's recognition of the cultural
advances in Korea. |
