Seoul imposes additional sanctions on those assisting Pyongyang's nuclear program

Seoul imposes additional sanctions on those assisting Pyongyang's nuclear program

Seoul, Mar 21 (UNI) South Korea has imposed additional sanctions on four individuals and six institutions assisting North Korea's nuclear and missile program, as well as Pyongyang's evasion of restrictions, the South Korean Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
The restrictions, in particular, affected two Singaporean companies — Wee Tiong (s) Pte Ltd and WT Marine Pte Ltd — as well as the North Korean Central Prosecutor's Office, the South Korean Foreign Ministry said.
Seoul believes the companies have contributed to Pyongyang's missile and nuclear program and helped it to evade sanctions by illicit financial activities, as well as by sending North Korean workers abroad and controlling them.
