Malaysia orders all N. Korean diplomatic staff to leave country within 48 hours

PUTRAJAYA: The government will order all diplomatic staff of the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur and their dependents to leave Malaysia within 48 hours, says Wisma Putra.

It said the government was now compelled by the North Korean government's decision to close the Malaysian Embassy in Pyongyang, whose operations had been suspended since 2017.
