Western firms doing business in N. Korea

[oberliner]

BEIJING - In the midst of tensions over North Korea's nuclear program, a Western company is there searching for oil. Another just bought a bank.

"North Korea is hungry for business," said Roger Barrett, the British founder of Beijing-based Korea Business Consultants, who recently took 11 Asian and European clients to Pyongyang to play golf and make contacts.

A small group of Westerners are taking on the challenge of doing business in the isolated North, hoping to get in on the ground floor as its communist rulers experiment with economic reform.
