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.

The Malaysian Embassy staff burned
documents, and some left carrying
luggage.
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.
