North Korea announced plans for two existing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) near Nampho on the DPRK’s west coast, in the most recent issue of quarterly journal Foreign Trade.

The article outlines plans for the Jindo and Waudo Processing zones adjacent to the DPRK’s busiest port.

The article entitled “Booming Economic Development Park” seems to imply the Jindo zone is already up and running.

“By taking advantages of the Port of Nampho nearby and tens of years of development of the machine-building, electronical (sic) and light industries in Nampho, it processes various goods and exports them,” the article reads.
