The North Korean authorities have ordered its companies in Russia to tightly restrict workers\u2019 contact with South Koreans, Daily NK has learned.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a source in Russia on Mar. 19, employees of the Moscow-based Namgang Corporation, which is under the Seventh General Bureau,<\/a> were assembled on Mar. 19 and notified of the new policy.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the meeting, the president of the Namgang Corporation said that the focus of the policy is to \u201cstomp out any instances in which workers of the Russia-based company interact with citizens of South Korea\u2019s \u2018puppet state\u2019 for work or other reasons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While North Korea has always restricted its workers in Russia from contacting South Korean citizens, the new policy appears to be aimed at highlighting that workers should not be in contact with anyone who could encourage them to defect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn his announcement, the president of Namgang Corporation reminded the workers that Russia has close ties with North Korea and will arrest anyone who attempts to escape,\u201d the source said. \u201cHe urged those with wavering loyalties to come to their senses and commit themselves to fulfilling state-set production plans.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company’s president further said that \u201cin the past, Russia would simply deport South Korean citizens who hid runaway North Korean workers, but starting this year, it has chosen to promote justice and trust with our fatherland [North Korea] by detaining, arresting, and exposing the concealed places used by these South Koreans.” His statement suggests that the North Korean government believes the new policy will bring about a decline in efforts by South Koreans to rescue defectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the meeting, a state security official also warned the workers that \u201cRussian law enforcement is actively cooperating with North Korea to promote measures that will prevent workers from escaping. Those who knowingly attempt to contact South Korean citizens will endanger their families back home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After the meeting, workers said among themselves that the emphasis on North Korea\u2019s close ties with Russian law enforcement was meant to inspire fear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid deepening ties between the two countries, Daily NK has reported that <\/span>increased cooperation<\/span><\/a> between Russia and North Korea\u2019s intelligence agencies is making it more difficult for North Korean workers in Russia to defect.<\/span><\/p>\n
