GOVERNMENT AND DEFENCE Companies in North Korea

NACE/ISIC Section O
Sector Overview — North Korea

Public Administration and Defence companies in North Korea. Government bodies do not have beneficial owners β€” they have budgets and mandates. Ministries, defence entities, and compulsory-social-security bodies are state functions, not shareholder-owned companies, so the ownership-verification questions that apply everywhere else in this directory largely do not translate here.

The 2026 Party Congress endorsed simultaneous nuclear and conventional buildup

The Workers’ Party of Korea held its 9th Congress in Pyongyang from 19 to 25 February 2026, re-electing Kim Jong Un as General Secretary and formally endorsing a policy of simultaneously expanding nuclear and conventional armed forces. North Korea has deployed an estimated 11,000 troops to Russia’s Kursk Oblast in support of Russia’s war against Ukraine as of early 2026, a deployment North Korea itself acknowledged in April 2025, with South Korean intelligence estimating North Korean losses in the region at roughly 6,000 killed or injured; Kim ordered expanded missile and munitions production for 2026 in a December 2025 statement. Separate North Korean claims about a doubling of weapons-grade nuclear material production capacity come from state media and could not be independently verified.
