HONOLULU – The Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) is “a window of hope” and a chance for Westerners to show North Koreans “our world,” a former ambassador and his wife said.
Michelle Mope Andersson, whose husband Karl-Olof Andersson served as Sweden’s ambassador to North Korea for two years, gave a talk at the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Center for Korean Studies. Andersson’s talk featured dozens of photos from her stay in the North, illustrating problems with shortages in food and energy, as well as arduous labor conditions, particularly for those outside the capital Pyongyang.
