State-funded Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency announced Monday that it revamped its 10-year-old news portal website to better serve domestic and overseas companies with up-to-date business news.

Kotra will launch Thursday the Kotra Overseas Market News, a new website providing news and in-depth reports on overseas markets produced by 126 KOTRA regional offices.

At news.kotra.or.kr, the new site will be user-friendly and equipped with more visualized content such as video and photos. A mobile version will also be available for smartphone users.

“Trading is the backbone of South Korea’s economy and understanding overseas business environment is critical for South Korean companies to come up with a suitable business strategy,” a Kotra staff said on Monday.

The agency has provided trade and investment-related daily reports offline since its foundation in 1962 and via its internet-based portal site Global Window since 2006.
