SEOUL — Efforts led by the US and other Western countries to form new groups to monitor sanctions on North Korea will fail, the country's UN envoy said on May 5, according to state media KCNA.

Earlier in 2024, Russia vetoed the annual renewal of the panel amid US-led accusations that North Korea has transferred weapons to Russia for use in its war in Ukraine.

In April, US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited the Demilitarised Zone, a heavily fortified border between the two Koreas, which remain technically at war, and urged Russia and China to stop rewarding North Korea for its bad behaviour.

Her trip came after Russia rejected the annual renewal of the multinational panel of experts that has over the past 15 years monitored the implementation of UN sanctions aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes.
