North Korea: “A secretive regime with nuclear ambitions”

June 5th, 2009 | Posted in North Korea | Author: Global Media Post

One of the world’s most secretive societies, North Korea’s nuclear ambitions have increased its ongoing isolation from the outside world. As one of the few countries still under communist rule, Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il heads a rigid state-controlled system which toleratates no dissent. Its dilapidated economy has been hit by natural disasters, poor planning and a failure to modernise. North Korea, officially named the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, maintains one of the world’s largest armies but standards of training, discipline and equipment are reported to be poor.
