"We should use education to help the people of DPR Korea to have a better life and a higher standard of living. Above all, let's help them integrate faster into the global network of open societies,...

"I hope that using this 'soft constructive' approach we can help them and North Asia and the world to be a better place for mankind,...

"I anticipate that it is a matter of time, within the next six years or so, that DPR Korea will engage the world in many constructive ways. I feel no one at this moment has the courage to do this though their hearts tell them to do so,...

Kim Jong Un was the first foreign head of state to receive the honorary degree from HELP university.

In a press statement released by HELP University, Dr Chan confirmed the awarding of the degree and expressed his hope that education could be used as a bridge to reach out to the people of North Korea.
Chan shared his vision for North Korea's future and how education was an important tool for the reclusive nation's progression. Dr Chan also stressed the importance of accessible education in paving the way for a better quality of life for the people of North Korea.


Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world who have good ties with North Korea and whose citizens are not required to have visas for entry into the nation.
