It is in the new documentary “The Mole” that North Korea’s secret arms transactions are shown on film for the first time. Everything has been possible thanks to the Danish mole Ulrich Larsen who for eleven years has infiltrated the dictatorship and has managed to document illegal meetings and exports with hidden and open cameras.

Now, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde (S), along with Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod, are commenting on the information.

In a joint statement on the website of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs both write in English that they are “deeply concerned”.

“We are deeply concerned about the content of the documentary The Mole, which touches on a variety of North Korean-related activities.”

They further state:

“In response to this concern, we have decided to pay attention to the documentary in the UN Sanctions Committee. We will also raise the issue within the EU.”

“It poses a series of troublesome questions”

They also write that the sanctions established by the UN Security Council in response to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program and activities must be respected and maintained. And that the information in the documentary raises a series of deeply troubling questions and concerns.

“We want to be very clear: it is the duty of North Korea and all other states to listen and implement the sanctions imposed on North Korea.”

They claim that the content will now be analyzed and that they cannot assess which measures may be relevant at this time.
