In the meantime, all overseas dispatch workers whose North Korean foreign currency is affected are required to return to North Korea within the next eight days. It is in response to a UN Security Council sanctions adopted two years ago, saying the Russian government will send out North Korean workers on time.

Those who have taken over the construction work in Russia's coastal sea are the workers from North Korea.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is pushing for repatriation of the foreign workers and that the repatriation is in progress.

Under UN Security Council Resolution 2397, adopted two years ago, they must be returned to North Korea by the 22nd.

Less than ten days left.

Russia's Foreign Ministry says it will implement sanctions on the Security Council.

Interfax says the train ticket to North Korea was sold out by the end of the year, following a procession of returning North Korean workers.

Repatriation actions continue in other countries.

As of June 6, 47 countries reported to the UN that 47 countries returned to North Korea.

However, China did not disclose the repatriation figures.

Some have raised concerns that China and Russia may be able to tolerate foreign currency gains in North Korea, for example by studying abroad and tourist visas.
