Interesting Article - Thanks.

Some of the industries they mention are Tourism, Mining (world-class), Oil and Gas, and Hydropower (world-class).

If they just come quickly up toward South Korean practices, we could also see an explosion in agriculture, seafood production, garment and electronics manufacturing, construction, retail and entertainment (K-Pop music, movies and TV).

It is true that they have huge potential. So much of it could be accomplished just by letting South Koreans step right in and start operating. It is virtually unique for a poorly developed country to have such massive pool of skilled labor and world-class companies at the ready like this, with the same language.

With good policies, they could experience explosive growth.

If they do have explosive growth and population mobility, I wonder if they are considering actual re-unification?

The possibilities are breathtaking.

Before the Korean war, both "future koreas" were dirt poor. Northern Korea was less dirt poor. That's it

Even more so, as long as there is an utter tyranny in the north, they can never get "rich" -- fatty Kim is already rich as are his inner coterie, but the rest of the norks are dirt poor

How long before we see the Trump Tower Pyongyang and people vacationing on the North Korean Riviera?
