The Russian officials told the brokers not to forge passports for North Koreans and hinted that they would receive rewards for reporting North Koreans who want forged passports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, North Korean and Russian authorities have begun closely cooperating to stop North Korean workers in Russia from running away, an increasing occurrence since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said even the \u201cNo. 1, No. 2 and No. 3\u201d of North Korean enterprises in Russia have no idea what the authorities of the two countries agreed to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cNo. 1, No. 2 and No. 3\u201d refers to the manager, party secretary and security guidance officer of North Korean enterprises in Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the news has caused agitation not only among North Korean laborers currently working in Russia, but also among North Koreans who have already run from their workplaces, hiding in Russia and earning their livings on forged passports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amid this atmosphere, even Chinese people illegally sojourning in Russia are worried, the source said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brokers have been making forged passports for North Koreans and illegal visa extension papers for Chinese people, but now the North Koreans and Chinese are both on guard after Russia made its warning to the brokers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the source said North Korean authorities responded to the report that more workers are running off by saying that \u201cthey will soon catch all of them\u201d since they are getting better cooperation from the Russians than before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe authorities also ordered that [companies] control everyone who remains and to carry out their share allotted by the state, even if only one worker is left,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20230103-5\/\"><i>Read in Korean<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea recently made a secret request to Russian authorities for cooperation in stopping North Korean workers in Russia from running off, Daily NK has learned.\u00a0 The move appears aimed at stopping the dramatic rise in overseas North Korean workers running away or hiding on forged passports since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
