China and Russia are pushing the U-N Security Council to ease sanctions on North Korea

The news follows a 2019 attempt to remove a ban on North Korea’s Pyongyang exports of statues, seafood and textiles.

In a reworked draft resolution, China and Russia want the 15-member council to remove those sanctions.

Their aim is to enhance “the livelihood of the civilian population” in the isolated state.

It also includes other measures including lifting a ban on North Koreans working abroad and exemptions for inter-Korean rail and road co-operation projects.

North Korea has been subject to UN sanctions since 2006 over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The country has long suffered from food insecurity, with the COVID-19 pandemic prompting unprecedented border lockdowns.
