North Korea was also engaged in "malicious cyber activities" that supported its military expansion, representatives of the three countries said in a joint statement.

Under a UN resolution unanimously approved in 2017, member states had until December 2019 to send back all North Koreans working in their countries. "Overseas DPRK IT workers continue using forged identities and nationalities to evade UNSC sanctions and earn income abroad that funds the DPRK's unlawful weapon of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs," the envoys said in a joint statement, using North Korea's official name.

Last year, North Korea declared itself an "irreversible" nuclear power last year, effectively ending the possibility of denuclearisation talks.In recent weeks, North Korea has tested what state media has claimed was an underwater, nuclear-capable drone and carried out the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
