The North Korea Trade Capacity Project is designed to support the development
of North Korean business intermediary organisations through capacity
building, with particular regard to EU-DPRK foreign trade relations.
The main activities of the institutional reinforcement should include
seminars and workshops held by invited economic specialists in North
Korea as well as study visits of DPRK experts to European organisations,
such as Chambers of Commerce, which have an interest in exchange. DPRK
experts taking part in the activities will be mainly drawn from business
intermediary and trade institutions in North Korea. Liaison with these
institutions and provision of necessary services in North Korea will
be the task of the Pyongyang International Information Centre for new
Technology and Economy (PIINTEC), while the EU-Korea Industrial Cooperation
Agency (EUKICA) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSS), the main co-ordinator,
are in charge of organising the European contribution. The programme
will run for three years.
