North Korea’s plans to “revitalize international tourism” will be aimed at tourists from “friendly” nations, leader Kim Jong Un reportedly said, visiting a tourism hub near the country’s tallest mountain on the China border.

Kim’s comments at the Mount Paektu area raise questions about a potential restart of Chinese tourism and the DPRK’s continued ban on Western tourism, as the country continues to keep its doors shut to all but select delegations and Russian tourists.
