North Korea has been isolated by the international community as the United Nations (UN) has imposed strict sanctions on North Korea for its involvement in haphazard productions and tests of nuclear weapons.

It should be noted that Nepal’s government had given till October last to North Koreans in Nepal to pull back investment in Nepal and return to their country.

However, despite the expiry of the deadline, some North Koreans are still running their business in Nepal.
