“Cash-starved North Korea is making more noises about attracting foreign investment. 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.”
