China-N. Korea trade hits record US$4.67 bln
SEOUL, Dec. 29 (Yonhap) -- China's trade with North Korea jumped 73.5 percent on-year to a record US$4.67 billion in the first 10 months of this year due primarily to soaring imports from the neighboring country, a report showed Thursday.
The figure for the January-October period was far larger than the trade volume of $3.47 billion between the two countries for the whole of 2010, according to the report by state-run Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA).
