The Ministry of External Economic Relations is North Korea's foreign trade ministry. The ministry's headquarters are at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang. The current minister is Kim Yong-jae and the vice minister O Ryong-chol.[1][2] The ministry was established in 2014 when its predecessor, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, fused with the Joint Venture Investment Committee and the State Economic Development Commission to revive the ministry that had been marred by economic sanctions against North Korea.
