Egypt’s Orascom Investment Holding (OIH) S.A.E. financed the introduction of several enormous LED lighting walls on the iconic Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang in early 2018, multiple informed sources have told NK News.

The massive light wall system – which is said to comprise over 100,000 LEDs and displays North Korean propaganda animations – was installed in early 2018 by an unspecified Chinese company on behalf of the Egyptian investors, one of the sources said.

“Yes, Orascom people did it,” a second source said about the involvement of the Egyptian firm in the lighting wall, which also owns 75% voting rights
