  • Historical Relations Between Poland and North Korea from 1948 to 1980*
    International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 27, No. 1, 2018, 29−70. Historical Relations between Poland and North Korea from 1948 to 1980* Nicolas Levi** and Kyungyon Moon*** This article focuses on relations between Poland and North Korea from 1948 till 1980, focusing on places of remembrance of Poles in North Korea, and North Korean citizens in Poland. During this period, bilateral relations between these countries were very close due to their belonging to the same ideological movement. The article focuses on political, ideo- logical, cultural, and economic relations based on three historical phases of the Korean War (1950-1953), Post-Korean War (1953-1960) and distur- bance of Poland-North Korea relations (1960-1980). The paper argues that although Poland did make efforts to successfully foster mutual rela- tions, sometimes regardless of Polish interest, the behavior of DPRK authorities reduced the benefits Poland could gain from maintaining relations with this country. The DPRK focused on its interest and not on the interest of fraternal nations. This led to a negative image of the DPRK authorities among the Polish leadership and automatically to negative views concerning the DPRK population among Poles. Keywords: Asymmetry of relations, North Korea, Poland, Communism, Juche ideology * This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government [NRF-2016S1A3A2924968]; This research was supported by “Research Base Construction Fund Support Program” funded by Chonbuk National University in 2018. ** Assistant Professor, Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures of the Polish Academy of Science, First Author. *** Assistant Professor, Chonbuk National University, Corresponding Author.

  • DPRK) So Far This Year
    DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S 16 April 2004 REPUBLIC OF KOREA Appeal No. 01.68/2004 Appeal Target: CHF 14, 278, 310 Programme Update No. 01 Period covered: January – March 2004 The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organisation and its millions of volunteers are active in over 180 countries. For more information: www.ifrc.org In Brief Appeal coverage: 36.3 %; See attached Contributions List for details. Outstanding needs: CHF 9,089,504 Related Emergency or Annual Appeals: 01.67/2003 Programme Summary: No major natural disasters have affected the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) so far this year. Food security is a major concern, especially in areas remote from the capital. The Red Cross Society of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK RC) has been granted permission from the government to expand the Federation supported health and care programme to another province, increasing the number of potential beneficiaries covered by the essential medicines programme to 8.8 million from July 2004. Due to delayed funding, the first quarter of 2004 has been used to finalise most of the programme activities from the 2003 appeal. Bilateral support from the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands and the Norwegian Red Cross Societies is supplementing Federation support. Partner national societies renewed their commitment to continue supporting DPRK RC. DPRK RC is regarded as an important organisation in DPRK by the government, donor country embassies, UN agencies and NGOs. Operational developments Harvests last year in DPRK were above average, however, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) state that, despite the good harvests, the situation remains “especially precarious” for young children, pregnant and nursing women and many elderly people.
