The North Korean government’s position remains unchanged to implement the large-scale economic cooperation projects in various areas, including energy and railways, the North Korean Foreign Ministry official told ItarTass.
Another very important project is reconstruction of the Trans-Korean railroad. The modernization of the Khasan-Rajin railway infrastructure is viewed as a pilot part of the reconstruction of the entire Trans-Korean main line. When the link from the South Korean port of Pusan across North Korea to Russia is opened in full, a substantial part of cargoes will be re-orientated to Russia’s Trans-Siberian line from the sea route from South Korea to Europe. South Korean businessmen may join the work to develop North Korea’s railway infrastructure.
