That suggests the company will take overseas workers\u2019 abilities into account in personnel reassignments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company\u2019s trade delegation in China has already been informed by the home office that it will be notified about the final personnel assignments at the end of January 2024, after the party committee at the home office has reviewed its business report, the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Puksae Electronic Trading Company has also reportedly asked the trade delegation for information about the financial status of the Chinese traders who were contracted to carry out this year\u2019s business projects. The delegation is also supposed to have the Chinese traders look into the trade situation and the conditions for new contracts and transactions in the coming year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cGiven its responsibility for developing and manufacturing new electronic devices next year, Puksae Electronic Trading Company is basically laying the groundwork to greatly expand imports of the key parts and producer goods it needs from China,\u201d the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North Koreans are keenly interested in new releases of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">media players and other electronic devices, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">regardless of the high prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The North Korean authorities are urging Puksae Electronic Trading Company and other trading companies operating in China to import Chinese-made parts to develop and manufacture more electronic devices that can be released and sold for foreign currency. That aids the government\u2019s goal of bringing privately held foreign currency under its control.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Translated by David Carruth.
