Russian companies will set up drug stores, fast-food chains and private fleet taxi services in North Korea, the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang said in a Facebook post.

Several agreements were signed between Russian businesses and the North Korean government at the 2nd meeting of the Joint Russian-North Korean Workgroup on Trade, which was held in Pyongyang on December 12-16.

The Russian Embassy said it would “do its best to promote these interesting initiatives.”
