WINDHOEK, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Namibia rejects a widely circulating allegation from the media that the country has not submitted a report on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for over a year to the United Nations Security Council(UNSC)'s Sanctions Committee.
The Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation said in a statement issued on Tuesday that the government has submitted reports to the UNSC's Sanctions Committee, the last being on April 8 this year.
Namibia has terminated contract with the Korean Mining Development Trading Corporation (KOMID) and Mansudae Overseas Projects (MOP) in Namibia, for as long as the UNSC sanctions against the DPRK are in place, and all DPRK nationals have departed from the country, as part of the implementation of the UNSC sanctions resolutions, the statement further read.
The ministry's acting permanent secretary, Lineekela Mboti, said that Namibia is committed to complying with all relevant UN resolutions on the DPRK, and has, therefore, invited a panel of experts to visit the African country to assess its compliance with the UNSC resolutions.
"The experts acknowledged our invitation and regretted that their calendar could not allow them to visit Namibia. The invitation still stands," Mboti said.
