| Abstract
|
:
|
"As tensions rise again, few of us are aware that the two Koreas have been quite active in Iran ever since the 1960s. The author, an Iranian expert on Iranian-East Asian relations, looks into the reasons behind the significant political, cultural, and above all commercial ties."--Provided by publisher.
