Broadening perspectives in and out of North Korea

Choson Exchange and our team members are fortunate to retain a unique perspective on life and opportunity in North Korea. Through 15 years of experience with North Korea and engaging diverse aspects of civil society, we have been fortunate to lend our perspective on domestic, peninsula and international affairs. 

Our team members regularly pen columns on our work for external audiences as part of our engagement to broader members of interested communities. We further our engagement efforts in North Korea by creating opportunities for our partners to participate in international conferences and exchanges, and have advised other parties on recommended practices for engaging effectively with North Korea.
