Since its founding the Society has worked closely with colleagues in the DPRK-NZ Friendship Society in Pyongyang, helping to coordinate charity efforts, peace activism, and other forms of cooperation between the two countries.
The NZ-DPRK Society has the following objectives:
- To promote peace and understanding between the People of the DPRK and NZ
- To support the peaceful reunification of the DPRK and ROK
- To facilitate the exchange of people and resources between the DPRK and NZ.
- To support recognition of DPRK by the international community of nations
- To encourage DPRK’s full participation in all international organisations.
The executive of the Society is currently made up of:
- Dr. Tim Beal, Chairman
- Mr. Peter Wilson, Secretary
- Rev. Stuart Vogel, Liaison Officer with the Korean Christian Federation
