Korea / 조선

A community about anything related to Korea, such as news about the countries (DPRK and south), discussion, photos and videos, the language, etc.

See also: [email protected], which is intended for memes rather than serious discussion of these topics.

The picture of this Lemmy community is magnolia (목란), the national flower of the DPRK. The background picture is a scenery of Pyongyang.

Rules:

  1. No imperialist apologia. The DPRK didn't start the war. US imperialist invasion was not justified. Neither are their army bases in south Korea. The sanctions were and are not justified.

  2. Be respectful. The imperialist media likes to describe the DPRK people as completely brainwashed, and that it'd be fine to completely destroy that country in an invasion. Don't act like the imperialist media.

  3. Be skeptical of your sources. Don't trust the media that has been known to report many falsehoods about Korea already. (You may still link to them if they write something interesting / worth reading, just be careful.)

We continue to tell you about the details of the visit of Khabarovsk entrepreneurs to Pyongyang:

For 3 days, the participants of the business mission held more than 30 meetings with representatives of Korean companies.

🔹 For example, manufacturers of building materials expressed interest in establishing joint ventures in Khabarovsk Krai and provided samples of their products for testing.

🔹Representatives of the oil refining industry were also able to find common ground in the supply and processing of oil products.

🔹 Another promising direction is the supply of fruits and vegetables from the DPRK to Khabarovsk retail chains. Some agreements have been reached on this issue and the parties have already started building direct communication.

🔹 During the meeting between Khabarovsk Krai CCI and Korean International Sports Travel Company, which is the main operator of the new resort “Wonsan-Kalma”, the Korean side requested to search for a travel company-partner in Khabarovsk and expressed readiness to discuss the launch of a charter flight Khabarovsk-Wonsan.

🔹The staff of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the DPRK contributed to the success of the business mission by providing assistance at all stages of the trip and participating in the negotiations. The members of the delegation met with the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the DPRK A.I. Matsegora to discuss the interim results of the trip and prospects of cooperation.

The business mission was concluded with the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Khabarovsk Krai and the Chamber of Commerce of the DPRK.

This is a good sign for both countries

DPRK isolation isn’t a good thing and opening up more for joint business ventures will allow them to grow and modernize into a truly successful and prosperous socialist state. As ROK society continues to decline, if the DPRK grows on top of it, we will see a drastic shift on the unification topic come 2050’s and beyond.

From the Russian perspective, I think this is a good indicator that Western hostility is permanent. Investing in the DPRK who is sanctioned and embargoed by the western world shows that Russia has no plans to normalize with the West. Russia, DPRK and China are only growing closer together as joint military and economic partnership is becoming more frequent between them.

I am very hopeful for the DPRK, PRC and soon to be created USSR 2.0(socialism is inevitable for Russia).

I remember reading that a Chinese businessman once worked with the DPRK's government to create a special economic zone, analogous to Hong Kong and Macao.

Unfortunately, plans fell through, and I'm genuinely heartbroken because I love the seal.

I haven't read enough about Sinuiju but I do know about one successful economic zone within the DPRK called the Rason SEZ.
