Malaysia Monday recalled its ambassador to North Korea for consultations and summoned Pyongyang's envoy to Kuala Lumpur over remarks the latter had made on the killing of Kim Jong-nam, elder half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in Malaysia.
The Malaysian Foreign Ministry disclosed this in a statement released today.
It said North Korean Ambassador to Malaysia Kang Chol was summoned for an explanation over his allegations against Malaysia pertaining to the death of Jong-nam, (Bernama) news agency reported.
The statement added that Kang Chol met with the ministry's deputy secretary-general (bilateral affairs) Raja Nushirwan Zainal Abidin over the allegations he had made at a press conference last Friday.
Kang Chol had reportedly portrayed that the Malaysian government had a hidden agenda and that it had colluded with external powers in handling the death of Jong-nam on Feb 13.
Jong-nam was at KL International Airport on Feb 13 to board a flight to Macau an hour later when a woman suddenly covered his face with a cloth laced with what is believed to be poison.
Police have so far arrested four people over the killing.
