Welcome to the DPRK Trade Capacity Project! The integration into the international economy is one of the ambitious goals of economic changes in the last years in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). As a capacity building project for this endeavour, the Trade Capacity Project of Hanns Seidel Foundation (Munich, Germany) and Eukica (Brussels, Belgium) with the Pyongyang International Information Centre for new Technology and Economy (PIINTEC) has been working since March 2006. On the following pages you will find more information on our project, its aims, the seminars and study trips as well as a reference collection of links and texts on trade integration. We hope you enjoy reading the following pages. Thank you very much for your interest in our project. Dr. Bernhard Seliger Hanns Seidel Foundation Representative for Korea
