Singapore says it will investigate reports that a company based there helped export rocket launchers from North Korea to Burma, in violation of a United Nations ban.
Singapore's foreign ministry said it took the allegations very seriously. The claims were made in a report by Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, which said the exports had been taking place since Burma and North Korea restored diplomatic ties in April last year.
The UN Security Council banned all trade in military equipment with North Korea, after it conducted a nuclear test in October 2006.
