Malaysia Expels North Korea's Ambassador
Malaysia Expels North Korea's Ambassador
Kuala Lumpur - Arab Today
Malaysia has declared North Korea's ambassador persona non grata over the alleged murder of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother, and ordered the diplomat to leave the country within the next 48 hours.
Kang Chol's expulsion came on Saturday, just weeks after Kim Jong-nam was allegedly poisoned at Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13. "The expulsion of the North Korean ambassador is... an indication of the government's concern that Malaysia may have been used for illegal activities," Malaysia's foreign ministry said in a statement.
The decision was made after he failed to appear at Malaysia's foreign ministry at 6 pm local time on Saturday despite being summoned.
Malaysian authorities were also expecting North Korea to issue an apology because of the accusations they were making against Malaysia. But that also didn't happen. Malaysia also cancelled a visa-free travel deal with North Korea and recalled its ambassador to Pyongyang.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
