India has officially banned trade in military goods, including tanks, armored vehicles and combat aircraft with North Korea, according to a notice from the country’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) published on Tuesday. The move appears to be almost 11 years late, with paragraph 8 of Resolution 1718 having banned the export of most military hardware to the DPRK in 2006. “Direct or indirect export and import of the following items, whether or not originating in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)… is ‘Prohibited’” the DGFT notice reads, before listing military items included in Resolution 1718.
