<p>The Government condemns both the persistent widespread human rights abuses of the
North Korean regime and the consistent attempts of that regime to develop nuclear
weapons in defiance of international law. No UK money goes directly to the regime
in North Korea, and there is no DFID bilateral aid programme. A number of multilateral
agencies that work in North Korea receive funding via the UK’s core contributions
to these organisations. The FCO scaled back project work after the fourth nuclear
test – but continues to fund some small-scale projects aimed at improving the lives
of the most vulnerable in DPRK society. This will be kept under review.</p>
