ViceAdmiral: North Korea builds munitions factory in Nam NAMIBIA'S dealings with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) have been found to be in contravention of United Nations sanctions imposed on that country. The contravention includes the building of an armament factory.
International news media organisation Vice News reported that a UN Security Council report stated that officials in Namibia admitted to investigators that North Koreans were involved in several ventures in Namibia.

Nandi-Ndaitwah said the Namibian government was not involved in anything untoward, and that government has cooperated with the United Nations and openly answered and forwarded information requested by the UN.
