South Korea country profile - Published South Korea has developed into one of Asia's most affluent countries since partition in 1948. The Communist North has slipped into totalitarianism and poverty. The republic was proclaimed in 1948 and received UN-backed support from the US after it was invaded by the North two years later. The Korean War ended in 1953 without a peace agreement, leaving South Korea technically at war for more than fifty years. The following four decades were marked by authoritarian rule, during which government-sponsored schemes encouraged the growth of family-owned industrial conglomerates, including the Hyundai and Samsung groups. They helped transform South Korea into one of the world's major economies and a leading exporter of cars and electronic goods. The US has tens of thousands of soldiers in the country. FACTS The Republic of Korea Capital: Seoul Population 48.6 million Area 99,313 sq km (38,345 sq miles) Major language Korean Major religion Buddhism, Christianity Life expectancy 77 years (men), 84 years (women) Currency Won LEADER President: Moon Jae-in Moon Jae-in was sworn in following his victory in a May 2017 election to replace the country's first female president, Park Geun-hye, who was impeached in an influence-peddling scandal. Mr Moon, a centre left human rights lawyer who wants a softer stance on North Korea, said he would work for peace. He said he would be prepared to visit Pyongyang if conditions were right. The son of North Korean refugees took office at a time of tensions on the Korean peninsula, with the US and Pyongyang trading angry rhetoric amid growing speculation about another nuclear test. The international mood changed dramatically after talks with North Korea led to that country taking part in the Winter Olympics in the South. At a summit meeting in April 2018, President Moon and the North's Kim Jong-un agreed to end hostile actions and work towards reducing nuclear arms on the peninsula..

ऐतिहासिक वार्तापछि दुई कोरियाको ‘परमाणु वाचा’ दुई कोरियाको सीमाक्षेत्रमा भएको ऐतिहासिक वार्तापश्चात् उत्तरका नेता किम जङ-अन तथा दक्षिणका राष्ट्रपति मून जे-इनले कोरियाली प्राय:द्वीपलाई परमाणु अस्त्र मुक्त पार्न काम गर्ने वाचा गरेका छन्। सन् १९५३ मा युद्धविराममा टुङ्गिएको कोरियाली युद्धलाई स्थायी रूपमा अन्त्य गर्ने एक शान्ति सन्धि यसै वर्ष गरिसक्ने सहमति पनि दुई नेताले गरेका छन्। उत्तर कोरिया: ट्रम्पको भाषण 'कुकुरको भुकाइ हो' केही महिना अगाडिको वाकयुद्धको स्थितिपश्चात् अहिले दुई बीच वार्ताको अवस्था आइपुगेको छ। शान्तिको आकाङ्क्षा वार्तापश्चात् बोल्दै किम जङ-अनले दुई कोरियाले झगडा गर्नुपर्ने कुनै कारण नरहेको भन्दै शान्तिप्रतिको चाहना दर्शाए। उनले दुवै देश एक हुनुपर्ने भने तर आफ्नो देशको अस्त्र विकासबारे केही बोलेनन्। दक्षिण कोरियाली राष्ट्रपतिले दुवै जनाले कोरियाली प्राय:द्वीपको पूर्ण परमाणु निरस्त्रीकरणमा प्रतिबद्धता जनाएको बताए। त्यस्तो निरस्त्रीकरणका विस्तृत विवरण दिइएको छैन। कतिपय विश्लेषकहरूले अझै पनि उत्तर कोरियाको प्रतिबद्धताप्रति शङ्का व्यक्त गरेका छन्।
