South Korean province plans to send aid to North Korea despite failed attempts

UN approved a sanctions exemption for Gyeonggi province to deliver greenhouse materials to S. Phyongan, Nampho

South Korea’s Gyeonggi province will attempt to deliver a new humanitarian aid package to North Korea after failing to do so earlier this year, according to a U.N. document published on Aug. 10.

The U.N. 1718 Sanctions Committee website listed South Korea as the recipient of a new sanctions exemption on behalf of the Gyeonggi provincial government, allowing the delivery of $367,000 worth of materials to build greenhouses in North Korea’s Nampho city and South Phyongan province.
