Pyongyang plans to build more special economic zones that will allow foreign currency and different economic rules designed to bring in foreign capital. A new ‘non-governmental’ organization dedicated to assisting foreign investment held a conference on the zones with experts from countries including the U.S., Canada, India, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Earlier this year North Korea said it wanted ‘foreign trade [to] be made multilateral and diversified and investment be widely introduced.’ North Korea says it has introduced new laws to protect foreign investors.”
