PattayaMale Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 "Thai trade to be hit by sanctions (By Bangkokpost.com) Thailand is bound by tough new sanctions passed this morning (Thailand time) by the United Nations against North Korea. According to the UN resolution, trade between North Korea and Thailand must be governed by tough new restrictions, including closer inspection of cargoes and possible bans on trade by groups or individuals to be named by the United Nations in the next few days. The sanctions were adopted this morning by a majority vote by the Security Council, and were especially notable because it was the first time that China has joined the world call for harsh sanctions against its ally and former wartime partner. The UN demands directly address known trade between North Korea and Thailand, and seek to close down the sort of international cheating for which Pyongyang has long exploited Thailand." I did not know until today that Thailand traded much with North Korea. Quote
