Since the end of the 1990s, in order to improve relations, Mongolia has intensified its engagement policy with North Korea. This article analyzes the overall development and future prospects of bilateral relations and various aspects of this policy.

The agricultural cooperation between Mongolia and South Korea lacks collaboration between the private sectors and is limited to only small-scale projects of governmental and non-governmental organizations at this time. Studying the agricultural cooperation between the two countries shows possible collaboration opportunities with potentially beneficial results for both Mongolia and South Korea. Therefore, for the benefit of the national economy, a collaboration between the private sectors of Mongolia and South Korea should be supported by the government. Assuming that the collaboration between the two countries on the production of highly demanded agricultural products in both the South Korean and the world market is potential, several versions of collaborating opportunities are demonstrated.

To settle the political controversy over North Korea's "suspected" nuclear weapon's programme, the chief delegates of the USA and North Korea concluded a nuclear accord which they call the "Agreed Framework" rather than a formal treaty or an arms control agreement. To understand the significance of this accord, the author examines how the adversarial relationship between the USA and North Korea was turned into a cooperative endeavour, assesses the terms of the "Agreed Framework" and KEDO (Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization) founded by the USA, Japan and South Korea.

2023 witnessed a marked surge in contacts between Russia and the DPRK. Active mutual visits were the main event and the main surprise. In summer Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu visited Pyongyang, in September North Korean leader Kim Jong-un came to Vladivostok to meet President Vladimir Putin, and in October Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov went to the DPRK.
After the COVID-induced break, the two countries' representatives met face to face to seek ways to develop bilateral relations in a new political reality. Moscow and Pyongyang are concerned about the US — South Korea — Japan trilateral alliance emerging in North East Asia. Besides, practical cooperation should reach a level worthy of neighbors who have converging foreign policy views. Also, the two parties are discussing how to organize their political cooperation in the future.
Now, in a changed world, Russia promises to block all new sanctions against the DPRK in the UN Security Council, but it does not mean Moscow will neglect its duties as a permanent member or ignore sanctions that are already in effect. The quest for available profitable cooperation formats may prove arduous, and possible options might include projects in the areas of logistics, tourism, etc. Still, it is highly unlikely that Russia receives or seeks arms supplies from the DPRK, like the West claims.

As the global confrontation intensifies, North Korea keeps close to traditionally like-minded actors, but Pyongyang may yet diversify their diplomatic options should the opportunity present itself. In the meantime, Russia should use this chance to flesh out our relations with the close neighbor.

This book delivers an in-depth analysis of the US-DPRK Peace Treaty which will be concluded as a final result of the Korean Peninsula peace process that is currently ongoing. Since North Korea launched its nuclear weapons development program in the early 1990s, the Korean peninsula has become a critical point of global politics along with the Sino-American (G2) hegemonic competition. The US-DPRK Peace Treaty is the key to the denuclearization and de jure peace on the peninsula as well as Northeast Asia. Different from the comprehensive peace treaty between the four parties (US, China, and the two Koreas) already proposed for the past few years, the book suggests a 'bilateral' approach to the agreement between the US and the DPRK, which will trigger the peace as a system considering the US's practices in this regard after 1783. Such a challenging and provocative method provides deeper understanding of the legal and political circumstances for the expected US-DPRK Peace Treaty. The book will navigate scholars, practitioners, and students towards terminating the 1953 Armistice, establishing nuclear peace as well as a rapprochement between the two countries. In practice, it will be a useful guideline for the conflicting parties in the various parts of the globe to adopt peace treaties in the twenty-first century
