North Korea’s August Rason international trade fair is reportedly moving to a new venue for 2018 and will no longer take place at the Sonbong cultural center, where it was held annually between 2011-2017.

From later this year the event will now take place at the newly constructed Rason Exhibition Center, a spacious facility which also houses the Taedongang beer pub, foodstuff shops, and a furniture store, an informed source told NK Pro on condition of anonymity.

Photos seen by NK Pro of the new venue show a modern interior with ample capacity for exhibitors
