KOTRA (Korea Trade Promotion Corporation initially, Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency since 1995) is a state-funded trade and investment promotion organization operated by the Government of South Korea. KOTRA was established in 1962 as a national trade promotion organization. Since then, it has facilitated Korea's rapid export-led economic development through various trade promotion activities such as overseas market surveys, SME export promotion,trade info services, government-to-gov't export,foreign investment in Korea(FDI) promotion and business matchmaking.
In August 1995, cross-border investment promotion and support for technological and industrial cooperation projects were added to KOTRA's mandate, and it was renamed the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency. Under Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE)
KOTRA currently operates Invest KOREA, the national investment promotion agency. Originally initiated as the Korea Investment Service Center (KISC) in 1998, the agency was relaunched as Invest KOREA in November 2003 to support foreign investors with an expanded range of services.
Kotra may refer to:
Kotra is a town and a nagar panchayat in Jalaun district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Kotra is located at 25°49′N 79°19′E / 25.82°N 79.32°E. It has an average elevation of 136 metres (446 feet). Kotra is near Betwa River. Favourite sweet of Kotra is called "Palangtod" and "Kalakand".Today's population is more than 10,000, but lots of people are poor because they don't have work, so many people leave Kotra, and they are living in Ahemdabad (Gujrat), Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Orai, Jhansi. Only One roadways bus is there, which comes only once in a day, that goes to Kanpur and then many private buses used to go to Orai. It used to have a small fortress called in colloquial "GARHi".Larger part is in ruins, some washed away being close to the river and some encroached. Only two Mazars are somewhat in good condition but lack of preservation may not keep these buildings of unique architecture for long available to stake KOTRA's claim to some history. Presently, The Chairman of Nagar panchayat ( Mr. Patiram ) is doing nice work. I wish some professional preservation and tourism promotion triggered to enhance this historical town lying totally neglected since river transport lost importance.
Bastards of madness
Call out this prayer of vengeance
Speaking to enemies through these wounds of redemption
Tearing out their eyes with horror
Behold this chosen new devise
As the silence pleads this forgiveness
A senseless begging for absolution
Upon this entrance into oblivion
This fallen angel of defiance, destitute to isolation
Hold tight to liberation, in the form of reprisal
Project of this restored frame, in these pain filled alterations
This new threat of changing life restless in this completion
Powerless you crawl like pigs
Soon to be slaughtered
Suckling to a faith that you avidly hoped would save you all
These offerings will bring us our justice.
For these years of diluted lies
The answers to our freedom
The answer to the death of gods
These hands held into the sky so the dark
Winds can taste the blood of murder
As the blackest hearts obey thoughts of evil
Deathlorn rites, endure the lust for revenge
Surrender the state of embracement and release
This life from the dark interiors
Discomfort of this assisted torment is given in these regards
A scourge of awakening
Prisoned in the rites of blood
Bestowed with ancient plagues, we will forge a disease
Of rape upon your ideals
Within this lifeblood we will find the truths as blades
Slice open their necks
The answers to our freedom
The answer to the death of gods
Once reconstructed the swarm will digest
The souls of this imperfection
Sterilizing faith bringer has discharged
This assembly of this damnation
Burden me with your weak
Curse me with your sick
In blood filled walls I lie confined
