Letter from Dutch Embassy in Beijing to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 'Trade Relations with North Korea'

This document was made possible with support from Leon Levy Foundation

The Ambassador relates the highly negative experience of a Dutch business representative who recently traveled to Pyongyang on the request of a Dutch commercial delegation already there. The North Korean hosts were offensive in their manner, attempted to play the different representatives against each other, and made highly dubious proposals and demands, including that 50 cars be donated to state corporations as gifts.
