The Canada-DPRK Knowledge Partnership Program

In 2010, Prof. Kyung-Ae Park established the Canada-DPRK Knowledge Partnership Program (KPP) at the University of British Columbia. KPP is the first North American program to educate North Korean university faculty members for long-term periods in economics and business practices as well as sustainable development.

In addition, the KPP has held several international conferences in North Korea, with participation from North American, European, Asian, and UN experts. The Program has also led North Korean delegations to Europe and Asia for international workshops and study visits.
