The history of North Korea's nuclear program has frequently been shrouded in secrecy, sheltered from the IAEA and denounced by the United Nations Security Council. With the announcement of the arrival of the nation as a nuclear power, there is little for North Korea to shield from the rest of the world beyond the tenuous nature of its political machine. It remains to be seen if North Korea can maintain the political stability that goes hand-in-hand with legitimate diplomatic relations that would tie it to the other six-party nations.

Still, challenges remain and Brazil struggles with a gap between the rich and poor, skewed land ownership, and foreign debt. President Lula's economic policy includes long-term investments and strengthening trade agreements with developing countries and other Latin American nations. Good trade depends on strong foreign relations.
