Ministry of Foreign Affairs ?? – North Korea’s foreign ministry opened its website in 2017. The ministry is one of the official voices of the country and often issues pronouncements and statements in reaction to international issues.

Maritime Administration of the DPRK ?? – North Korea’s state agency in charge of merchant shipping. It has a look-up function on its web site that lets users probe the national registry of ships and seamen, links to North Korea’s laws of the sea and assorted news items. It’s largely designed to make North Korea’s maritime industry appear normal and above board, hiding that some of the traffic is used for smuggling.
