The Foreign and Commonwealth Office runs a range of programmes in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) which support our country objectives. When we discuss project proposals with the DPRK authorities, we identify locations in the DPRK where we assess our project work is likely to have the most impact. However, it is not possible to conduct projects in the DPRK without the agreement and cooperation of the DPRK authorities. We retain the right to reject locations and to withdraw funding if we are not satisfied.
