Chan Han Choi, 62, was in 2017 charged with seven offences
including allegations he sought to help provide North Korea with
weapon sales.
Choi had previously denied all charges. But on Wednesday he
pleaded guilty to two charges including brokering a service for
the sale of arms and related materiel from Pyongyang and
attempting to export coal from North Korea to Indonesia.
Choi, a civil engineer born in South Korea, will return to
court on March 19 for sentencing.
Cash-strapped North Korea has come under stricter United
Nations sanctions after pressing ahead with its missile and
nuclear programmes in defiance of international pressure.
