is on the 38th parallel, at the latitude of
Palermo, but winter is cold due to the prevalence
of currents of Siberian origin.

caring for the environment and includes among
its measures certain public policies that include
clear strategies for this purpose, which is mainly
the care of natural resources and the
environment.

South Korea is a developed country and between the 1960s and 1990s had
one of the fastest growing economies in the world. This surge of growth
was achieved through export-oriented manufacturing and a highly-skilled
workforce. In 2009, it was the ninth country with the highest income from
its exports.
As the largest of the four Asian dragons, the South Korean economy is the
fourth largest in Asia and the 13th largest in the world. It is an important
trading partner of the world's largest economies, for example, it is the
third largest trading partner for China and Japan, the seventh for the
United States, and the eighth for the European Union.
