==Coal==
===China===
Rason borders Jilin province of China and Khasansky District in Primorsky Krai of Russia. China is making investments in the port as it gives it access to the Sea of Japan. Coal is shipped from nearby Chinese mines to Shanghai.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=36164&tx_ttnews[backPid]=7&cHash=e8c061fdac |title=Strategic Implications of China's Access to the Rajin Port |publisher=The Jamestown Foundation |date=18 March 2010}}</ref>
===South Korea===
In October 2014 South Korea authorities said they planned to bring 35,000 tons of Russian coal through North Korea’s Rason port in the next month. Three South Korean companies - KORAIL, POSCO and Hyundai Merchant Marine - will work on the North Korean project, which South Korean authorities hope will link the country to the trans-Siberian railway.<ref>[http://www.nknews.org/2014/10/north-korea-south-korea-russia-to-cooperate-on-coal-shipment/ "North Korea, South Korea, Russia to cooperate on coal shipment,"] NK News, Oct 15, 2014</ref>
