The recently announced economic cooperation between Belarus and North Korea is likely to focus on the agricultural sector, a source within the Belarusian government told NK News.

“They are interested in our agricultural products,” the source said, referring to foodstuffs produced within Belarus.

The source’s comments followed a visit by North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong to Minsk, where he met with his Belarusian counterpart Vladimir Makei.

Ri also met with Belarusian Premier Andrei Kobyakov, Deputy Prime Minister Vasily Matyushevski as well as with Trade Minister Valentin Chekanov, information from the Belarusian Foreign Ministry noted.
