  Analysis Why foreign NGOs and tourists can’t visit North Korea’s Jagang ProvinceResearch suggests large-scale munitions industry presence could be a contributing factor 
There are many places North Korea does not allow foreigners to visit. One of the most prominent bans covers an entire province – Jagang, in the country’s north – where restrictions appear to prohibit the majority of foreign diplomats, NGO personnel, and tourists from visiting.
Since at least 2013, when Thomas Fisler of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) arrived in DPRK for a four year assignment, Jagang Province has – according to Fisler – been de-facto closed to the SDC, as well as to European Union Programme Support and all United Nations agencies working in the DPRK.
