North Korea Sends Economic Delegation to Iran
North Korea's Economic Diplomacy in Action
Delegation to Discuss Cooperation and Trade Ties
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – A high-level North Korean economic delegation is en route to Iran, according to North Korean state media. This delegation's visit is part of North Korea's ongoing efforts to strengthen its economic ties with other countries.
The delegation, led by Vice Premier Ri Ryong Hae, will likely discuss a range of issues, including trade, investment, and energy cooperation. Iran has been a key economic partner for North Korea, providing oil and other goods in exchange for North Korean labor and technology.
The delegation's visit comes at a time of heightened tensions between the United States and North Korea. The US has accused North Korea of violating UN Security Council resolutions by continuing to develop nuclear and ballistic missile programs. North Korea, in turn, has threatened to conduct a nuclear test in response to the US sanctions and military exercises with South Korea.
