The diplomatic isolation of North Korea continues:
Jordan has cut diplomatic ties with North Korea amid global efforts to put pressure on Pyongyang to give up its missile and nuclear programs, local media reported Friday.
The decision was disclosed on the Jordanian government’s website after it was approved by a royal decree, according to the reports. AFP earlier reported that it is “in line with the policies of its allies,” apparently including the U.S.
Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates also recently cut their diplomatic relations with the North. [Yonhap]
