Professor MIMURA Mitsuhiro

Purpose

We provide information about North Korea by examining trends there, including political and security trends focusing on the economy.

Overview

Regarding North Korea, nuclear and missile development issues have been the focus of attention, but the country announced a policy focusing on economic construction while emphasizing self-reliance at the 8th Meeting of the North Korean Workers Party held in January 2021. Analyzing the current state of the North Korean economy through fixed-point observation and understanding the current state and changes in the North Korean economy will contribute to policy planning in Japan and other countries, serving as material when discussing North Korea.
