DPRK Business Monthly Volume 1, No
DPRK Business Monthly Volume 1, No. 3, April 2010 As a rich man is likely to be a better customer to the industrious people in his neighbourhood than a poor, so is likewise a rich nation. [Trade embargoes] by aiming at the impoverishment of our neighbours, tend to render that very commerce insignificant and contemptible. Adam Smith, Wealth Of Nations International Russian Firm to Connect Rajin with Transiberian Line RZDstroy, a subsidiary of the Russian corporation RZD, has signed a contract with Rasonkontrans, a joint venture between RZD and the DPRK Ministry of Railways, to carry out reconstruction of the railway line connecting Hasan with Tumen, Rajin and the port of Rajin. When completed, the railway line will connect Rajin Port with the Transiberian Railway, and give it access to Western European ports and other destinations. According to the agreement, RZDstroy will prepare the roadbed and lay superstructure on the section between Unchan and Kwangok (15.7 km) and at two stations of this section, erect facilities on all sections, including 14 bridges, and arrange communication systems. Two construction teams from RZDstroy and Korean builders will participate in the work. Rasonkontrans was created with the participation of RZD Trading House (It owns 70% of the company’s capital) in 2008. It is registered in North Korea, in the Rason Special Economic Zone, for 49 years. According to the agreement, the Russian side will make the investment, and the North Korean side will keep the property rights for the port (the 3rd berth and the adjacent territory). The joint venture will oversee the railway reconstruction, the construction of a container terminal at the port of Rajin with a potential capacity of up to 400,000 containers of a 20-foot equivalent (TEU) per year, as well as the further maintenance of this infrastructure. -
