Paektu Cultural Exchange

2 hours ago

We’ve just returned from Rason Special Economic Zone (SEZ) after visiting the 2017 Rason Int’l Trade Exhibition (RITE), a number of factories, local markets and shops and we even spent an afternoon at a public beach. Despite recent sanctions, the foreign and domestic participants were about the same as last year. Again we witnessed crowds of locals flocking booth-to-booth buying domestic and foreign products, which were generally sold at discounted prices at the Exhibition. Foreign booths were represented by companies and organizations from China, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, the USA, Germany, and more.
