25.10.2006, 10.56
PYONGYANG, October 25 (Itar-Tass) - The office of the Russian Airlines – Aeroflot in North Korea faced difficulties while transferring money to Moscow via one of Hong Kong’s banks, the head of the Aeroflot office in Pyongyang, Vladimir Fedoseyev, told Itar-Tass on Wednesday.
The request for money transfer to Moscow transmitted to a bank of Hong Kong several weeks ago has not been processed, he said.
China sent a notification that the transaction cannot be processed as there is no confirmation that it does not contradict sanctions imposed after North Korea’s nuclear tests on October 9.
The UN Security Council’s sanctions include the ban on transfer of money from and to North Korea that may be used to finance its nuclear and missile programmes.
The Aeroflot office sent an explanatory note to Hong Kong that all funds to be transferred to Moscow had been collected as a result of tickets sale and Aeroflot’s other official activities in Pyongyang.
People will naturally suspect that you are laundering money for N. Korea.
If you insists staying there, then good luck. On the bright side, you would never get fat. N. Korea is the best place in the world for crash diet. In that place, only Chia Head and his cronies are allowed to be overweight.
Ping!
Good news . . . FWIW . . . as far as it goes.
Now, now, we all know that grass and bark are staples essential to a good diet.......I'm sure "regularity" isn't an issue......plenty 'o fiber....
Bet on it.
Maybe the only ones flying in there soon will be Iran Air, Air Cubana and the Venezuelan national carrier!
