Authorities in Far East Russia’s Primorye region said Wednesday they have launched the country’s first ski tours to neighboring North Korea as Moscow seeks to cultivate deeper ties with Pyongyang. “Would you like to visit one of the most interesting and mysterious countries in the world, North Korea?” the Primorye region's government wrote in a post on social media. “Then hurry up and pack your bags to go on a five-day tour,” the post continued, adding that the first group of Russian tourists is expected to take up the “unique offer” on Feb. 9. The Primorye region’s international cooperation agency said the $750 tour package to North Korea’s Masikryong ski resort includes return flights between Vladivostok, the North Korean capital of Pyongyang and the port city of Wonsan, with stays in four and five-star hotels, according to the state-run news agency TASS.
