Spain Becomes Latest Nation to Remove North Korean Ambassador

I don’t know why any country would want a North Korea ambassador in the first place considering the rampant criminal enterprises conducted out of North Korean embassies:

On Monday, Spain asked the North Korean ambassador in Madrid to leave the country by the end of September, the first European country to expel a North Korean diplomatic envoy.

The move follows similar steps by Mexico, Peru and Kuwait earlier this month. It also comes as the international community steps up its efforts to heighten sanctions against the nuclear-weapons seeking state.

The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2375 last week, which put a cap on the country’s crude oil imports and a ban on its textile exports.

The United States has called on other countries to cut diplomatic and trade ties with the North in a bid to further isolate the Kim Jong-un regime.

“Today, the North Korean ambassador was summoned and was told of the decision to consider him persona non grata, therefore he must stop working and leave the country before Sept. 30,” the Spanish foreign ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters.  [Korea Times]
