WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea has not sought membership in the International Monetary Fund and, if it does, it will be up to the global community to decide whether it should be able to join, IMF Managing Director Rodrigo de Rato said on Sunday.
"As we all are aware, North Korea is not a member of the Fund at this moment (and) as far as I know the government of North Korea has not shown any formal proposal in this respect," Rato said in response to a question at a news conference.
