"We are acting in accordance with the UN resolution and in agreement with the countries that support employment restrictions on North Korean workers," said Szwed. Tens of thousands of North Koreans work abroad in deplorable conditions, mainly in Russia and China, to generate valuable foreign currency revenue for Pyongyang.
