Senior N. Korean officials go on economic tour of Vietnam
- 5 years ago
When President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sat down for their brief conversation on Wednesday evening, one of the issues raised was the economic potential of North Korea.
Reflecting their interest in overhauling the regime's economy,...Kim's top foreign policy and economic aides visited several high-tech factories in Vietnam earlier in the day.
Officials including Ri Su-yong, who heads Pyeongyang's International Department and O Su-yong, the regime's top economic policymaker, went to the industrial port town of Haiphong.
They toured an automotive manufacturer called VinFast...a member of Vingroup,... one of the largest private enterprises in the Southeast Asian country.
Analysts say this signals Kim's interest in Vietnam's economic reform model.
