		The “Pong Su,” a vessel owned by a North Korean enterprise, was seized by Australian Federal Police (AFP) and other Australian security forces in mid-April 2003 after apparently delivering 125 kilograms of heroin to criminals at an isolated beach near Lorne, Australia.
		The “Pong Su” seizure and numerous drug smuggling incidents linked to North Korea over the past several decades, reflect official involvement in the trafficking of illicit narcotics for profit, and make it highly likely, but not certain, that P'yongyang is trading narcotic drugs for profit as state policy.
		In April of 2003, the “Pong Su,” a North Korean merchant vessel of about 4000 tons displacement, flying a flag of convenience, was seized by Australian military Special Forces, who boarded the vessel by rope descent from a helicopter after a four-day chase in heavy seas.

	News from the Washington File
		A typical incidence of drug trafficking in the mid-seventies, when trafficking by North Koreans first emerged as a significant problem, would involve a North Korean employee of a diplomatic mission or state enterprise who would be apprehended with illicit drugs by police or border crossing officials.
		According to reports, on April 16, police in Australia observed the "Pong Su" relatively close to shore and followed two ethnic Chinese suspects on the shore as they left the beach and headed for a near-by hotel.
		Incidents such as the Pong Su arrests, for example, demonstrate that North Korean traffickers are becoming involved farther down the trafficking chain.

		Seen together with North Koreas severe economic problems, these incidents suggest that North Korean diplomatic representatives were engaged in criminal activities to generate funds for their cash-strapped government or to reduce some of the burden to maintain their own presence abroad.
