“It will give a head start to many other states” – Ryzhenkov talks about visit to DPRK

Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov recently visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and decided to share his impressions of his visit to the country with journalists, BelTA reports.

“The country is very interesting. And this is a good example of how falsifications work, which are imposed on the international community through some sources of information,” the minister stressed. – A hard-working, careful developing country. It is all visible. There is construction going on in all those cities that we flew over or drove through. Pyongyang is a very clean, beautiful, neat city. Only there are no huge mansions outside the ring road, like we have. But in general, from the point of view of a country to live in, it looks quite decent. And it will give a head start on many other countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America. And in terms of cleanliness and landscaping, I would say that Europe is really lagging behind.”

Maxim Ryzhenkov is sure that there is mutual interest in terms of trade. For example, he sees prospects for supplying Belarusian pharmaceutical products to the DPRK. “It was a big surprise for me, when I went to a pharmacy, to find a medicine of Polish origin. Given the scale of the Polish policy towards this state,” he said.

North Korea received information on certain commodity nomenclature, with emphasis on the needs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
