In recent years, most countries around the world have shied away from business with North Korea due to UN sanctions imposed over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, which restrict joint ventures and the import and export of certain groups of goods, including electronics.

A special group of experts from the UN Sanctions Committee on North Korea monitored compliance with the sanctions; however, in March, Russia vetoed the extension of its work, and monitoring of compliance with the sanctions was suspended.

As reported by Ukrinform, North Korea successfully tested its latest sid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Hwasong-19 on Thursday, October 31, which is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the continental United States.
