‼️New Event‼️

✨️As North Korea sends weapons and elite troops in exchange for Russian technology and raw materials, the Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to have given North Korea’s government a new lease of life. The most-sanctioned country in the world now has an unexpected but very welcome additional stream of income. North Korea’s government is betting that this approach is worth it.

Join us for LAC’s monthly Asia Academy during which Leiden University’s DPRK-expert Ass.prof. Dr. Christopher Green will analyze whether it is.
