G7 leaders have accused North Korea of utilizing cryptocurrency theft and cybercrime to fund its nuclear and missile programs. In a joint statement, the G7 expressed "deep concern" over North Korea's weapons development and emphasized the need for its complete denuclearization. The statement also highlighted the issue of abducted nationals and called for their immediate resolution. For the first time, a G7 document explicitly named North Korea's involvement in cryptocurrency theft. The leaders urged all countries to enhance intelligence sharing, regulation, and law enforcement cooperation to combat the funding of weapons programs through hacking, money laundering, and virtual asset theft.
