Helping DPRK economy

The package of economic agreements signed by China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Tuesday marks the solid progress that has been made in bilateral trade and investment cooperation.

They will not only help boost the DPRK's battered economy. More importantly, they will contribute to the overall stability of the Korean Peninsula.

The two countries signed agreements on the establishment of management commissions for the two special economic zones of Rason, and Hwanggumpyong and Wihwa Islands. They also agreed to cooperate in agriculture, technology and other areas.
