Allied nations unite to address North Korea's illegal activities.

South Korea, the US, and Japan have called for stronger international support to ban North Korea from sending workers abroad and curb the North's cybercrimes as a way to block the country's means to fund its nuclear program. Despite 11 rounds of UN sanctions and pandemic-related hardships that have worsened its economic and food problems, North Korea still devotes much of its scarce resources to its nuclear and missile programs. The three envoys urged the international community to thoroughly abide by UN resolutions on the banning of North Korean workers overseas.
