Heung-ryong spent two days in Pyongyang and held three official meetings with Kim Chol-nam.

On the 23rd, Kim Chol-nam held a state banquet to entertain Pang Xinglong. On the morning of the next day, DPRK Prime Minister Kim Joon-young and Foreign Minister Roh Chol-doo issued a joint statement, declaring that the DPRK had signed a series of bilateral cooperation treaties and agreements with the Republic and that the Republic was the DPRK's "most trustworthy friend."

The DPRK's high-profile statement is nothing more than an excuse for the Republic to "embolden me".

According to the information subsequently released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, during his visit to the DPRK, Pang Xinglong discussed with Kim Chol-nam, the supreme leader of the DPRK, the situation in Northeast Asia and the Japanese nuclear issue, and enhanced bilateral friendship and mutual trust, and then signed the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" (additional provisions), the "Memorandum of Economic Cooperation," the "Agreement on Bilateral Trade Understanding," the "Agreement on Economic and People-to-People Exchanges and Mutual Trust between China and the DPRK," and other bilateral documents focusing on economic and trade exchanges.

There is no doubt that the attitude of the republic is much more "low-key".

The Treaty of Amity and Mutual Assistance (Additional Provisions) deals mainly with the provision of defensive weapons and equipment to the DPRK without posing a threat to third parties, helping the DPRK to improve its national defense capabilities and maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. In exchange, the DPRK unilaterally opened its nuclear facilities to the Republic's verification agencies and promised not to target nuclear weapons at the Republic at any time and under any circumstances. What has not been disclosed to the public is that the Republic of Korea has provided a nuclear umbrella to the DPRK and trained pilots and technical personnel of the DPRK Air Force, and that the DPRK has handed over the nuclear warheads and nuclear devices it has produced to the Republic for modification, and has pledged not to use nuclear weapons without the permission of the Republic.

It can be said that this is Pang Xinglong's biggest gain in Pyongyang.

From another perspective, Kim made the choice that was most beneficial to North Korea. As it turned out, North Korea had only three unreliable nuclear devices weighing several tons. These nuclear devices are all buried near the inter-Korean ceasefire line, and are intended to be used to resist a large-scale ground offensive by U.S. and South Korean forces, and have little actual combat value. That is, the DPRK does not actually have the capability to threaten nuclear weapons.

By handing over a pitiful number of nuclear devices, the DPRK has received full national security commitments and assurances from the Republic.

The "Memorandum of Economic Cooperation" is mainly a unilateral aid agreement for the Republic of Korea to help the DPRK develop its economy. According to the relevant regulations, the Republic will invest tens of billions of yuan in the DPRK in the next 1 year to help the DPRK build and improve its national infrastructure; Encourage domestic capital to invest in the DPRK in the form of state guarantees, and the DPRK provides the most favorable tax policy for the capital of the Republic; The Republic provides the DPRK with 1.5 million tons of rice and flour at domestic prices every year, provides the DPRK with advanced agricultural technology, and helps the DPRK solve its grain production problems.

Strictly speaking. The "Memo" is the life-saving talisman of the "Kim Family".

Although the North Korean economy is very closed. The dependence on foreign trade is not high. But North Korea cannot do without outside aid. It is even more necessary to use foreign exchange to purchase materials necessary for maintaining political power and domestic stability, including weapons and equipment in the interior. In the past. North Korea relies mainly on the sale of military technology, especially ballistic missile technology and nuclear technology, to other countries in exchange for foreign exchange. According to unofficial statistics. Only in the first 211 years of the 5th century. North Korea has received at least 50 yuan in foreign exchange from Iran and other countries through the sale of ballistic missile technology. With the outbreak of the financial crisis and the start of the war in Iran, a large number of anti-missile weapons were introduced. North Korea's "missile foreign exchange" has dropped sharply. If the North Korean government can't solve this problem. With the decrease in foreign exchange. It is not possible to import the goods necessary for the stability of the country (including many medicines, which are very common in other countries). The "Kim family" is bound to come to an end.

Republic Aid. To a large extent, it can solve the local problems facing the DPRK.

Like what. North Korea proposes a national infrastructure project. There are roads, railways, bridges, airports, communication networks, water conservancy projects, urban drainage projects and other "infrastructure" in the traditional sense. There are also non-traditional "infrastructure" such as hospitals, schools, pharmaceutical factories, fertilizer plants, food processing plants, hydropower stations, etc., which were previously considered "industrial facilities" or "public facilities".

Another example. The DPRK is a major cooperation project with a private enterprise in a government guarantee area. Mainly for the Republic has been eliminated textile, leather processing, papermaking, mining, etc., which require a lot of labor and energy. It will also cause serious pollution. There is not much added value in low-end industries. North Korea has not introduced high-tech enterprises. In addition to concentrating on solving the problems of people's livelihood and improving people's livelihood security. It is mainly related to the backward education and lack of sufficient skilled workers in North Korea.

Needless to say. The DPRK has become a beneficiary of the republic's industrial restructuring.

According to the local agreement signed between the DPRK and the government of the Republic of Korea and private enterprises, in addition to ensuring the daily needs of the DPRK people, most of the industrial products produced by the DPRK will be sold to the DPRK to meet the needs of the Republic market for low-end products and generate foreign exchange earnings for the DPRK.

The Bilateral Trade Understanding Agreement (BMOU) is to grant the most favored nation (MFN) treatment to each other and remove trade barriers.

In the short term, this agreement is beneficial to both parties. The DPRK can obtain a large number of cheap goods from the Republic to promote domestic economic development and improve the living standards of its citizens; The republic can gain access to a large market of 2 million people, solve the problem of survival of thousands of foreign trade enterprises, and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

In the long run, both sides will still benefit from this. North Korea can put a lot of low

Import into the huge market of the republic, without worrying about exports; The republic produces cheap, low-end products, sells high-end products to North Korean consumers with increased purchasing power, and controls North Korea through economic means.

Because a trade deal is not a strategic deal, it must be adjusted according to changing circumstances.

The "China-DPRK Agreement on Mutual Trust in Economic and People-to-People Exchanges" mainly involves three issues, one is the economic development zone, the second is the visa for personnel exchanges, and the third is the resettlement of stranded persons.

The DPRK will develop special economic zones in Sinuiju, Gangjee, Hyesan and Chongjin, allowing businessmen and entrepreneurs of the Republic to open factories, chambers of commerce and offices, providing the most preferential treatment to businessmen of the Republic in the special economic zones, reducing taxes for an agreed period of time, and so on. Later, with the gradual development of the DPRK's economy and the increase of domestic consumption capacity, Russia, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other countries signed similar agreements with the DPRK and were allowed to enter the special economic zone.

In order to enhance mutual exchanges, the DPRK has simplified visa procedures for citizens of the Republic of Korea who are visiting the DPRK for investment and tourism.

Most importantly, the third point is the resettlement of North Korean personnel stranded in the territory of the Republic.

At the beginning of the 211th century, the DPRK was hit by natural disasters for three consecutive years, and millions of Korean refugees poured into the territory of the Republic. This has not only caused a great burden on the Republic and affected the social order of the Republic, but also led to tensions in diplomatic relations between the Republic and the DPRK.

At its peak, there were more than 3 million North Korean refugees stranded in the territory of the Republic!

At that time, North Korea's total population was less than 21 million.

Merely guaranteeing the survival of millions of refugees is a very difficult task for the republic. Even without taking into account the needs of other places, 3 million refugees can consume 1.5 million tons of food a year. Counting the expenses for managing refugees, the Republic needs to spend tens of billions of yuan every year to feed 3 million North Koreans!

For North Korea, 3 million refugees is a very difficult problem.

After these refugees who have seen the "world" in the Republic and know what the outside world is like after being repatriated to the DPRK, they will no longer believe that it is a lie of the "Kim family" that the DPRK is a "paradise" and that other countries and people are in dire straits. Those who have knowledge and ability will definitely "try to change", and those who do not have knowledge and ability will "rebel". When Koreans, who make up 1/77 of the population, no longer submit to the rule of the "Kim family", the end of the "Kim family" will come.

Initially, the Republic also wanted to repatriate the refugees as soon as possible.

After three batches of more than 30,000 refugees were repatriated, the repatriation process was stopped. The reason is very simple, all the forcibly repatriated refugees were imprisoned in concentration camps by the North Korean government and subjected to "reform", and in the end, less than 1/10 of the refugees successfully completed the "reform", and the rest of the land disappeared from the world!

At that time, the news was highlighted by the news media of the republic.

The forced repatriation of refugees would be tantamount to pushing millions of North Koreans into a fire pit who once held the Republic as their savior.

It was precisely because of this that relations between the Republic and Korea seriously deteriorated during that period.

By the time of Pang Heung-ryong's visit to Pyongyang, some 2.2 million North Korean refugees were still in the republic, nearly 1.8 million of whom were living in refugee camps and hundreds of thousands of others scattered throughout the republic, most of whom were young North Korean women who had married men and had acquired republican citizenship.

According to the agreement reached between the two sides, North Korean refugees who remain in the territory of the Republic will "voluntarily return to the DPRK".

Subsequently, the government of the Republic issued a policy that refugees who do not wish to return to the DPRK can apply for temporary citizenship of the Republic after living in the Republic for 8 years or working in the Republic for 3 years. During this period, as long as there is no criminal record, you can apply to the civil affairs department of the Republic where you live or work to become a citizen of the Republic and obtain the right of permanent residence and the legal rights of citizens.

For both sides, this is the "best of both worlds" solution.

In addition to the Treaty of Amity and Mutual Assistance (Additional Provisions), several other cooperation agreements are of great significance not only in economic, trade, and humanitarian terms, but also in terms of the influence of the Republic on Korea.

A closed and backward DPRK can only become a factor of instability, and only a DPRK with economic development is a normal DPRK.

In helping the DPRK, the Republic has embodied its usual foreign policy, neither interfering in or directing other countries' internal affairs, not subverting other countries' regimes, not imposing ideology on other countries, not proposing any political surpasses on economic assistance, fully respecting and trusting friendly countries, and giving friendly countries the right and space for independent and free development.

This is completely different from the foreign policy of Western countries, which are dominated by the United States.

The Republic's policy toward the DPRK provides a new option for other countries that need assistance from major powers, and also provides a way for all major powers with great influence to learn from.

Later, the "North Korean model" gradually became a model for the Republic's foreign relations!

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
