| Description | The UN Panel of Experts is investigating Nam Chol Ung, identified as a representative of Reconnaissance General Bureau (KPe.031), for engaging in activities since at least 2013 that contravene Security Council resolutions. These activities include owning or operating companies, resorts, restaurants, and a sports complex in Laos and Thailand, and accessing the international financial system through these entities. Nam has been in Dalian, China, since late 2022, where he reportedly forged trade contracts for importing items into the DPRK, including a lubricating oil shipment for Sobaeksu United Corporation. China reported finding no information on Nam's involvement in activities violating Security Council resolutions. Responses from Laos, Thailand, and most involved companies are pending as investigations proceed. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic previously informed the Panel that Mr. Nam had exited the country in September 2019, and had been associated with the Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. | [sources] | |||
