| Hat tip One Free Korea. From last month but it's useful to demonstrate the tentacles North Korea has out in Africa. The tap-dancing to get around the plain meaning of UN sanctions is just what you'd expect... |
DEPUTY prime minister and international relations' minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has confirmed the existence of a North Korean-built munitions factory in the country, but said the factory was not in contravention of any United Nations' sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Nandi-Ndaitwah said the Namibian government was not involved in anything untoward, and that government has cooperated with the United Nations and openly answered and forwarded information requested by the UN.
The deputy prime minister was responding to questions by The Namibian after a UN Security Council investigative report was leaked. The UN was investigating whether North Korea was in contravention of its sanctions, especially the Asian country's nuclear armament programme. |
