North Korea had spent about $200 million on 70 times missile provocations in 2020. This expenditure can purchase 500,000 tons of rice which are afford to support the whole NK population for 45 Days.
Despite the chronic food shortage, with Kim Jong-Un having emphasized this year’s grain production as a matter of ‘serious national dignity’ at the 7th enlarged plenary meeting of worker’s party, the Kims luxurious life continues.
North Korean Central News Agency reported on 17th March of Kim Jong-Un and his daughter Kim Ju-Ae observing the test lauuch of the Hwasong-17 ICBM.
The coat worn by Kim Ju-Ae at that time was identified as Kid’s Hooded Down Jacket by Christian Dior, a luxurious brand that costs more than $1,900.
Meanwhile, according to the North Korean trade officer in Southwest Asia, Kim Jong-un, in violation of UN sanctions against NK, is known to enjoy leisure sports by purchasing Jet-Skis(SeaDoo) worth more than $40,000 per unit.
United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization(FAO) recently re-designated North Korea as a food-deficit country in need of external aid.
A report to the UNHCR on 9th March, by Elizabeth Salmon, Special Rapporteur on the human rights in the DPRK, shows that 42% of the North Korea population is suffering from malnutrition.
