North Korea helps Burma build complex bunkers and tunnels.
Burma says that the infamous North Korean ship, the Kang Nam 1, is not heading for it’s ports.
However, Burma will be receiving a shipment of rice from North Korea soon, they said.
Burma and North Korea severed ties when a botched North Korean assassination attempt in Burma killed 20 people, but in recent years they have been co-operating in various relatable fields. Both countries are isolated and sanctioned, but North Korea is more so.
It is known that North Korea ships arms to Burma and provides assistance with building complex bunkers and tunnels for the Burmese Military Junta.
The Kang Nam will be forced to refuel in Singapore and, under conditions of sanctions imposed on North Korea, Singapore may be faced with the dilemma of whether to inspect the ship or not – an act, North Korea views, as a declaration of war.
