North Korea declared a break in diplomatic relations with Malaysia and harshly criticized the United States in response to Malaysia’s handover of North Koreans to the United States accused of illegal money laundering. This is expected to be another negative factor in US-North Korean relations, as it occurred amid a fierce battle in North America prior to the establishment of a new US policy toward North Korea. Reporter Kim Moon-kyung reports. Diplomatic relations between North Korea and Malaysia were finally destroyed. In response to Malaysia’s opposition to handover to the United States, a North Korean businessman who was also asked to transfer American recruits accused of illegal money laundering, North Korea sparked a major storm of “ severance of relations diplomatic. ” The North Korean Foreign Ministry issued a statement accusing Malaysia of committing an unacceptable crime in which the Malaysian authorities sold innocent citizens as criminals and forced them to extradite them to the United States. Furthermore, the incident was part of the hostile maneuver by the United States to isolate and crush North Korea, and threatened that the United States would also pay a reasonable price. In May 2019, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation requested Moon to hand over recruits to Malaysia for violating sanctions against North Korea and for money laundering. After the breakdown of the Hanoi talks, it was a time when all inter-Korean relations entered a rapid cooling phase. Moon denied the charges, but the Malaysian court approved the extradition in December of the same year and, after a third trial, the Supreme Court also contacted the United States earlier this month. The relationship between North Korea and Malaysia, which was established in 1973, drastically declined when Kim Jong-nam’s half-Hyeong Kim Jong-nam was assassinated at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in 2017. The focus is on how Moon’s Indian issue will have an impact on US-North Korean relations, which are drawing attention after the establishment of the Biden government. I am YTN Kim Moon-kyung.
