In a series of new restrictions negotiated by the Chinese and American governments, all cargo going to and from North Korea must be inspected and North Korean trade representatives in Syria, Iran and Vietnam are among 16 individuals added to a UN blacklist, along with 12 North Korean organisations.

He said: “North Korea must abandon these dangerous programs and choose a better path for its people.”
