Abstract: This paper examines various channels and issues for foreign firms to invest in inter-Korean economic cooperation with the as-sumption that inter-Korean economic cooper-ation can be resumed after sanctions against North Korea have been lifted, and the same treatment is applied to foreign firms. Foreign firms' investment in inter-Korean economic cooperation will provide a new op-portunity for foreign firms to earn stable profits, while also playing a role in further solidifying the establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula. Now, inter-Korean rela-tions have fallen into difficulties due to sanc-tions against North Korea and the coronavirus pandemic, making it difficult to resume inter-Korean economic cooperation or to expect foreign firms to invest in inter-Korean eco-nomic cooperation. However, if inter-Korean economic cooperation is resumed, foreign firms' investment in inter-Korean economic cooperation will be prioritized.
