This is reported by "Vesti: Primorye" referring to the Ministry of Regional Development.

"We considered the development of the project in the logic of bilateral cooperation, in the logic of reducing tensions on the Korean peninsula.

What is happening today, in my opinion, is counterproductive: economic sanctions against North Korea have been announced, but economic sanctions have never led to the development of friendship and cooperation, "commented Yury Trutnev.
