Geopolitical Status of the States of the Korean Peninsula (Republic of Korea and DPRK)
( Pp. 98-104)

In the context of the sanctions policy of the West, Russia’s turn towards the Asia-Pacific region seems quite promising. In this regard, it was interesting for the author to look at the geopolitical status of the Republic of Korea and the DPRK in the current situation. The geographical characteristics of both states were analyzed from the standpoint of the possibilities of political and economic influence of these countries on world politics, as well as on relations with Russia. Socio-economic parameters were presented both in terms of demographics and in terms of urbanization, development of the transport system and industry. Foreign economic and military-technical policy was considered in the context of interaction between the ROK and the DPRK with Russia. However, a number of problems were identified that today exist on the path of unhindered economic relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.
