Description

On April 26, 2013, the Chinese Government donated approximately 200,000 tons urea fertilizer to the Government of North Korea, despite ongoing international sanctions. The estimated monetary value of this donation is $73,126,000. All fertilizer deliveries from China were reportedly transported via trains and container trucks and processed through the customs department in the provincial capital Sinuiju, which lies across the border from Dandong city in China’s Liaoning province.
