Something different. Pyong Chang. See it. Do it. Feel it. Bring the dream to the world. Pyong Chang, the place where legacy 유물 lives.

 

변화하는 북한사회

 

It doesn’t look like a country that’s about to cave in 항복하다, 굴복하다 to US pressure. North Korea recently showed off its ballistic missile 탄도 미사일 for the first time in a decade. The leader Kim Jong-Il portrays himself as a military hero who successfully defied 얕보다, 공공연히 반항하다 the United States. He may be prepared to trade away ~을 팔아버리다 parts of his nuclear program, but there’s little sign he’ll give up the nuclear weapons he already has.

 

Outside the showpiece 전시물 capital, this is an impoverished 빈곤에 처한 land, one of the poorest countries in Asia. The regime 정권 projects 전하다, 표현하다 an image of strength to the outside world although changes are taking place at home 자기 나라에 that could eventually weaken its grip 지배력. But for now, there’s no overt 명백한 sign of discontent 불만, 불평.

 

But beneath the surface, there are hints of change. Contact with foreign aid workers and growing trade with China have opened a window to the world. North Korea recently accepted help from UNICEF to train teachers. A rare admission that the system can benefit from outside help.

 

These North Korean workers have daily contact with outsiders, once unthinkable in the world’s most closed society. They’re working at a South Korean owned industrial complex just north of the border. At the moment, there are 15,000 of them. But that’s said to increase ten-fold ~배의 under the current expansion plans. For all of them, it’s a first opportunity to have contact with South Koreans and to work in a modern environment.

 

The South Korean government believes that joint economic projects like this are the best way to open up a country that’s been isolated 격리된 from the world for half a century. Our two leaders agreed on this project for the revitalization of the nation. If this succeeds, the north and south will come together in economics, politics and culture to become an advanced nation that leads the world. I hope we can summon 불러 일으키다 the power to achieve that.
