North Koreans leave embassy in Malaysia after severing diplomatic ties

North Korea cut diplomatic ties with Malaysia on Friday in response to the extradition of a DPRK national to the U.S.

North Korean staff left the country’s embassy in Malaysia on Sunday, two days after Pyongyang cut diplomatic ties with Kuala Lumpur for extraditing a DPRK national to the U.S.

“This incident is an out and out product of an anti-DPRK conspiracy created from a heinous policy of the hostility by the United States,” Kim Yu Song, North Korea’s charge d’affaires in Malaysia, said to the press gathered in front of the North Korean diplomatic compound.
