Russia, China tells U.N. they sent home over half North Korean workers in 2018.

UNITED NATIONS - Russia sent home nearly two-thirds of some 30,000 North Koreans working there during 2018 and China repatriated more than half, but did not specify a figure, according to unpublished reports by Moscow and Beijing to the United Nations Security Council.The United States has said it believed Pyongyang was earning more than $500 million a year from nearly 100,000 workers abroad, of which some 80,000 were in China and 30,000 in Russia.

The December 2017 U.N. resolution required countries to report to the sanctions committee this month on all North Korean workers repatriated during 2018"including an explanation of why less than half of such" workers were repatriated if applicable. "China will continue earnestly implementing its international obligations, carry out the repatriation work in an orderly manner and complete the repatriation on time," wrote China's mission to the United Nations, adding that it did not want the report to be made public.
