The UN Security Council has granted a sanctions waiver to Gyeonggi-do Province's plan to supply North Korea with materials for greenhouse construction.
The council's committee on North Korea says the waiver on 368-thousand U.S dollar worth of greenhouse systems and related materials was approved on August 4th.
The items will be used to improve the nutrition of vulnerable groups in Nampo and Pyongannam-do Province.
Gyeonggi-do Province has up to six months to import the aid before the waiver expires.
