Chapter 466
I contacted President Vysotsky.
As I described what had happened at the meeting, as if giving a report, President Vysotsky burst into a roar of laughter.
[Hahaha! You said you’d find a way, and you certainly did. Very well done!]
I was glad he seemed satisfied.
“It seems the gas pipeline and railway projects can proceed as previously discussed. However, I have one favor to ask in relation to this.”
[What is it? Go on.]
After hearing my request, President Vysotsky couldn’t answer easily.
“Investment in North Korea will face strong opposition from domestic political circles. To convince the conservative camp, I’ll need Russia’s help.”
[As you know, this is quite a burden for our side as well. If things go south, I too will have to bear the political risk.]
