DPRK, MALAYSIA TRADE TRAVEL BANS by joepentwo(m): 7:35am On Mar 07, 2017 |
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) announced on Tuesday a temporary ban on the exit of Malaysian citizens in the DPRK, until the safety of the diplomats and DPRK citizens in Malaysia is guaranteed. And in a tit-for-tat response, shortly after the news came out, Malaysia announced it is barring the DPRK diplomats in Malaysia from leaving the country. The Protocol Department of the DPRK Foreign Ministry informed the Malaysian Embassy in Pyongyang of the decision and expressed hope that the case would be swiftly and fairly resolved in order to develop bilateral ties with Malaysia. As for the latest progress of the investigation over the death of a DPRK man believed to be the DPRK leader's estranged half-brother Kim Jong Nam, Malaysia's police chief announced on Tuesday that some DPRK nationals wanted in connection with the case are hiding in the DPRK Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, reported AP.

"How much longer do they want to hide in the embassy? ... It is a matter of time before they come out," police chief Khalid Abu Bakar told reporters. The chief said DPRK authorities are not cooperating with the investigation. The Malaysian Embassy to DPRK activated its emergency response system on Monday evening after the DPRK announced the expulsion of the Malaysian ambassador to the country, according to a CGTN reporter in the DPRK.

On Tuesday morning, other staff lowered the flag of Malaysia and the flag of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Later, three cars left the embassy in succession. DPRK Ambassador Kang Chol to Malaysia left the country Monday and arrived in Beijing with his wife and daughter after midnight Tuesday. Malaysian police earlier said a nerve agent VX was found on the face of Kim Jong Nam. Police say it is a type used in chemical warfare. It was discovered from swabs of the face and eyes of the victim. VX is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations. |
