From Wikipedia:
A special economic zone is a geographic area within a state, for which there are legal and administrative facilities for investors. These usually concern customs and tax law, but sometimes also other legal areas such as environmental, labor or social law. Following the Chinese model and with South Korean investments, four special economic zones have also been set up in North Korea since 2000:
- industrial area Kaesŏng
- Tourist region Kŭmgang-san
- Special Administrative Region Sinŭiju
- Rasŏn
The fire brigades of North Korea are subordinate to the Ministry of National Security. The Ministry has 27 departments of which one is the Protection Office. It is responsible for fire safety, traffic control, public health and customs.
