Foreign Languages Publishing House
- Foreign Languages Publishing House
Foreign Languages Publishing House is the central DPRK publishing firm of foreign-language documents, located in the Potonggang District of Pyongyang, North Korea.
It employs a small group of foreigners to revise translations of North Korean texts so as to make those texts suitable for foreign-language publication.
Certain Soviet and Chinese works were published in the Soviet Union and in China during the Stalin and Mao Zedong periods, respectively, by the Foreign Languages Publishing Houses of those nations.
An autobiography of one such foreign reviser can be found at: http://www.aidanfc.net/a_year_in_pyongyang_1.html
