Six organizations, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), Korea Agency for Saemangeum Development and Investment (KASD), the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI), Korea Federation of Small and Medium Business (KFSM), Industrial Bank, and Jeollabuk-do, recently signed a pact to support the development of the \u201cSaemanguem China Valley,\u201d Korea\u2019s first inter-state special economic zone.\u00a0They have agreed to cooperate to find and lure overseas investors and domestic companies to Saemangeum.<\/p>\n
In December 2013, the People’s Republic of\u00a0China\u00a0and the Republic of Korea\u00a0agreed to jointly proceed with building the Saemanguem China Valley. The project is to develop a 25.8 km2 complex city that is said to combine industry, education, R&D, residence, and commerce at the ongoing massive reclamation site of Saemangeum.<\/p>\n
Before the reclamation of Saemangeum, it was\u00a0the single most important site for staging shorebirds in the whole of the Yellow Sea – itself a core area for migrant shorebirds of the East Asian\/Australasian Flyway.<\/p>\n
