CORRECTION: Russia, North Korea prepare agreement on illegal immigration

Agreement includes provision to reject repatriation if individuals deemed at risk upon return

Correction Nov 25: This article incorrectly stated that a bilateral illegal immigration agreement had been signed by North Korea and Russia. This was inaccurate as North Korea and Russia have prepared the bilateral agreement referenced in the article but have yet to sign it into force.

The error was caused by a misreading of a government order pertaining to the immigration agreement, which was signed on September 2 by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
