Korean Governmental Arctic Policy
1.
Korean governmental 5-year (2013-2017) plan with goals:
1. boosting Korea’s international cooperation with the region
2. strengthening Korean scientific research in the Arctic
3. creating business models in the Arctic
4. securing legal ground for the government’s Arctic policies
Total 31 projects are undergoing for the goals: International partnership (8)
