“…Most North Korea-backed organizations came to power afterwards setting the stage for their enduring friendship with North Korea (e.g., the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola in Angola; the South West Africa People's Organization in Namibia; the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front in Zimbabwe; the African National Congress in South Africa, etc.) (Owoeye 1991;Bechtol 2018;Crabtree 2018).…”

Many African countries have been alleged to serve North Korea as sources of hard currency, by purchasing weapons and military equipment and/or bringing military trainers and construction workers from North Korea, in violation of United Nations (UN) sanctions on North Korea. Focusing on high-level bilateral meetings between South Korea and African states during the period of October 14, 2006-December 31, 2019, this study examines the extent to which South Korea has utilized bilateral diplomacy as a tool to seek African cooperation for North Korea's denuclearization and to dissuade African countries from helping North Korea evade sanctions. We find that North Korea's denuclearization and UN sanctions, overall, have received only peripheral attention in South Korea's bilateral diplomatic discourse with African states and there is no significant difference between progressive and conservative administrations in this regard.
