Kim Tal-hyon (1941–2000) was a North Korean politician who was deputy prime minister of the economy.[1] As a technocrat, he is known for his work on the Tumen River project. The project was a limited experiment in free market reform, but was ultimately quashed by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il.[2]
In July 1992, Deputy Prime Minister Kim Tal-hyon, widely known as the North's highest economic policymaker and a "technocrat," made an extensive tour of industrial plants in South Korea with a view toward economic cooperation in the near future. He proposed pilot joint venture projects in the Nampo light industrial complex of North Korea.[3]
