*New Documents on the Two Koreas and the Third World*

* *

The North Korea International Documentation Project has recently obtained
and translated more than sixty documents from Romanian and Hungarian
archives on the struggle between North Korea and South Korea to gain
diplomatic recognition from countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East,
and Latin America. The documents are being made available to students,
researchers, and interested readers through a collection entitled *The Two
Koreas and the Third
World<http://digitalarchive.org/collection/146/the-two-koreas-and-the-third-world>
 *on the Wilson Center Digital Archive as part of a broader project on the
history of inter-Korean relations supported by the ROK Ministry of
Unification.****

The inter-Korean struggle took on global dimensions in the late 1970s and
early 1980s following the failure of the inter-Korean dialogue (see the
collections on the Inter-Korean Dialogue,
1971-1972<http://www.digitalarchive.org/collection/124/inter-korean-dialogue-1971-1972>
and
the Demise of Detente in Korea,
1973-1975<http://www.digitalarchive.org/collection/126/demise-of-detente-in-korea-1973-1975>
for
further information). Both Koreas sought allies and supporters across the
globe and particularly among countries active in the Non-Aligned Movement
(NAM). In exchange for diplomatic recognition, North Korea and South Korea
often provided economic aid, technical assistance, and military support to
countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.****
