said Tomás Ojea Quintana, the United Nations’ special rapporteur on North Korean human rights.

North Korean officials have privately indicated that they would prefer mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer or Moderna, according to aby a panel of experts convened by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“They have to take a different strategy at this point. Zero covid strategy is starting to crumble,” Park said.
