UNITED NATIONS - Maurice Strong, a long-time Canadian businessman and currently the top UN envoy for North Korea, will suspend his work for the United Nations while investigators look into his ties to a South Korean businessman accused in the UN oil-for-food scandal in Iraq.
Strong denies any involvement with the tainted program and has pledged to co-operate with investigators.
His ties to Tongsun Park are raising concerns about a possible conflict of interest in respect of his role as envoy to North Korea.
Park is accused of accepting millions from the Iraqi government while being suspected of operating as an unregistered agent for Baghdad, lobbying for oil-for-food contracts.
