The historic summit between the leaders of North Korea and South Korea has spurred the country's appetite for US investment, according to a South Korean official, according to the Daily Express newspaper.
After the two Koreas gave the green light for a new era of peace, following the summit between President Moon Jae-in and leader Kim Jong-un, South Korean special adviser Moon Chung-in even suggested opening McDonalds fast food outlets in Pyongyang.
Once unimaginable, the possibility should not be totally discarded as soon as the long-term tensions between North Korea and the West cool down.
"They want the US investment to come to North Korea. They want to get US sponsors and multilateral consortiums who want to invest in North Korea," he told a news conference.
The South Korean official, in charge of foreign affairs and national security, added that even a version of the Trump Tower could appear in "modern" North Korea in the future.
The comments were made shortly after the heads of the two neighboring countries held the inter-Korean summit and pledged to achieve complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
The two leaders agreed to hold multi-party talks involving the US and China. Pyongyang and Seoul will also hold high-level military talks later this month.
The North Korean leader is also expected to meet with US President Donald Trump in the coming weeks. The most recent information is that the historic meeting can be held in Singapore or Mongolia.
Trump confirmed that the event was being planned. "Things are going really well, the time and place of the meeting with North Korea is being defined," the US president recently tweeted.
