Over two dozen Russian companies sought to wow North Korean importers with fuel, military uniforms, deer antlers and more at a major trade show in Pyongyang last month, an NK Pro investigation has found, in another sign of the two countries’ burgeoning military and economic ties.

The Export Support Center of Primorsky Krai posted on Telegram that 20 regional companies attended the Pyongyang Autumn International Trade Fair, mostly presenting food products like honey, cheese and textiles.
