In 2020, Alzema Society SRL, a Lomé-based firm, invited DPRK nationals to set up and work for an agricultural joint venture in Togo. Earlier in 2019, the same company had invited a team of medical workers from DPRK's Moranbong Medical Cooperation Company to operate in Togo. This partnership, configured as a joint venture or cooperative entity, involved profit-sharing between Moranbong and Alzema Society.
