Nowadays the Arctic attracts a lot of countries all over the world, including Asian ones, due to its features, especially its abundant resources and research potential. In the paper the authors consider the Arctic policy of the Republic of Korea. Shipping and sea trade, oil and gas prospection, scientific research are of particular importance for South Korea. International cooperation with the circumpolar states and protection of indigenous people and nature preservation are also essential for the country. To achieve these goals the government of the state has designed several policy documents which provide the authors with the information for this research.
