“Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) said on Monday that it had blocked the deal, reportedly worth seven million francs ($7.6 million), after the Swiss government expanded its sanctions on the North in July.
 
SECO said selling supplies to the ski project fell under the expanded sanctions on luxury exports to the nuclear armed country. The North’s association insisted the resort was aimed at providing its citizens with ‘highly civilised and happy living conditions and make them enjoy all blessings’. ‘Cableway equipment for the ski resort do not produce any rocket or nuclear weapon,’ it said.”
