Hungry N. Korea offers millions of dollars to Thailand
By Byun Duk-kun
SEOUL, March 14 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has offered a US$100 million loan to Thailand for its mass transit systems despite the deepening economic woes of the impoverished North that depends heavily on international handouts to feed its hungry people, a U.S. source here said Friday.
The amount offered by the communist North could not be independently confirmed, but Thailand's Transportation Minister Santi Prompat last week confirmed there was a loan offer from Pyongyang, according to the Bangkok Post, an English newspaper circulated in the Thai capital.
