Would you drink bottled water from North Korea?

Ten containers arrive at Busan port

By Brian Han

Of all the options for bottled water in the world, South Korea accepted a shipment from North Korea.

Not just one, but ten full cargo containers arrived at the southeastern port city of Busan on Sunday.

Keep in mind that the two countries are technically still in a state of war that dates back to the 1950s.

But besides those minor details, the South and North agreed to team up with Russia to develop a reliable transportation system.

The end goal?

To move 120,000 tons of Eastern European coal down through the peninsula and into the possession of South Korea. Russia successfully moved 40,500 tons of the projected goal back in November of 2014.

The bottled water acts as merely a symbol rather than a burgeoning industry for the North.

The project is an extension of South Korean president Park Geun-hye’s vision named the Eurasia Initiative, which hopes to connect countries across Europe and Asia through a large international infrastructure network.

As for the water, producers bottled the product near Mount Baekdu in North Korea, the peninsula’s highest peak.
