China and Russia are calling on the UN Security Council to terminate sanctions on key North Korean exports such as coal, iron, iron ore and textiles, “with the intent of enhancing the livelihood of the civilian population.”
A draft resolution circulated to council members on Monday by the two allies of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would also lift a ban on North Koreans working overseas and terminate a decision to repatriate all those earning income abroad by December 22.
The council expressed concern when the repatriation provision was adopted two years ago that earnings from the nearly 100,000 overseas North Koreans, according to a US estimate, are being used to support the North’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
China and Russia made these and other proposals 16 days before Kim’s end-of-December deadline for the United States to come up with new proposals to revive nuclear diplomacy.
