Focusing on the status of North Korean railway modernization and political and economic interests since Kim Jong-un took power in 2012, this study focused on North Korea s national interests and priorities for North Korea s efforts to modernize the North Korean railway after the Panmunjom declaration on the 27th of April. The reason why North Korea has aggressively tried to construct High Speed Railway is not only because of its economic interests but also due to political considerations directly connected to its national security.
