Canadian troops dispatched to the East China Sea to monitor North Korea's "Ship-to-ship" October 10, 5:44
Canadian troops continue to smuggle refined petroleum products and other products in response to North Korea's "ship-to-ship" method of transferring cargo from ship to ship in violation of a UN Security Council sanctions resolution. We dispatched a new ship to the East China Sea and started monitoring activities for ship-to-ship.
The United Nations Security Council has imposed sanctions such as restrictions on the import of refined petroleum products and a ban on the export of North Korean coal so that North Korea cannot obtain funds and supplies for the development of nuclear weapons and missiles, mainly in Japan and the United States. A coalition of volunteers is in charge of monitoring the settlement.
However, a report released by the Security Council in September points out that North Korea has been activating ship-to-ship in the East China Sea and other areas, and has repeatedly violated sanctions.
In response to this situation, the Canadian government sent a military frigate and a shipboard helicopter to the East China Sea this week to identify ships such as North Korea that are suspected of ship-to-ship and began collecting location information. Announced.
Furthermore, from November, the military aviation corps will join, and by monitoring from the air based on the Kadena Air Base of the U.S. Forces in Japan, the Canadian Army will cooperate with Japan and the United States to commit North Korean violations. I want to find out.
Canada's Defense Minister Sajan said in a statement, "Canada, as a Pacific nation, will continue to work with its allies and stakeholders to maintain peace and security in the Asia-Pacific."
On the other hand, Japanese diplomatic sources have expressed hope that cooperation between Japan and Canada will lead not only to North Korea but also to China, which is accelerating its marine expansion in the East China Sea and South China Sea.
