N Korea exports textiles worth $100 million despite ban

According to a confidential UN report, North Korea has violated a textile ban by exporting goods worth more than $100 million between October 2017 and March 2018 to several countries including Sri Lanka. The countries to which North Korea has exported include China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey and Uruguay. Additionally, North Korea has also not stopped its nuclear and missile programs in violation of United Nations sanctions. It is cooperating militarily with Syria and has been trying to sell weapons to Yemen.

The six-month report by independent experts monitoring the implementation of UN sanctions was submitted to the Security Council North Korea Sanctions Committee recently. The report was published even as Russia and China recommended that the Security Council discuss easing sanctions after US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met for the first time in June. The United States and other council members recommended strict enforcement of sanctions until Pyongyang acts.
