Najib: Malaysia will not sever diplomatic ties with North Korea

Najib: 'Our country can be your gateway for Asean and beyond. I urge all of you to take advantage of the wealth of opportunities offered by Malaysia.'

CHENNAI: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak says Malaysia will not cut diplomatic ties with North Korea as he considers the hostage crisis issue closed.

However, the Prime Minister said North Korea should never resort to unlawful action and go against international law and convention again, in an apparent reference to the assassination of Kim Jong-nam in Malaysia, widely believed to have been ordered by the rogue regime.
