CNN on 3rd February carried a report which says that fishing is big business in Mozambique – it’s one of the country’s most lucrative industries, and North Korea wants a slice of that much-needed cash, and boats are easy to move and conceal. Joint fishing ventures are just one area of illicit trade the 2 countries are engaged in. In a months-long investigation, CNN uncovered a secret web of front companies, military co-operation and elite-forces training deals between North Korea and Mozambique, all in violation of international sanctions, according to UN investigators – and sealed with illegal contracts worth millions of dollars. The money is funnelled through regionally-based North Korean diplomats to Pyongyang.
