KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Wednesday that the Government was engaged in “very sensitive” talks with North Korea over nine Malaysians being prevented from leaving Pyongyang after the assassination of Kim Jong-nam (pic).

Jong-nam, the estranged half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was poisoned with a lethal nerve agent at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on Feb 13 in a brazen Cold War-style assassination that has damaged bilateral ties.
