North Korea recalls its ambassador to Britain after sanctions on children's camp, report says
- North Korea recalled Ambassador Mun Myong Sin from the United Kingdom just one month after he took up the post, downgrading diplomatic ties over British sanctions on a youth facility.
- In May, Britain designated the Songdowon International Children's Camp as part of Kremlin-run youth programmes allegedly involved in the deportation and indoctrination of Ukrainian children.
- Pyongyang's embassy in London stated bilateral relations would be reduced to charge d'affaires level until sanctions are removed, calling the move a "heinous, unethical, politically-motivated provocation."
- Britain's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office declined to comment on Mun's status or the reasons for his departure, maintaining diplomatic silence on the recall.
- While Britain appointed a new ambassador to North Korea last year, the embassy in Pyongyang has remained closed since the pandemic, limiting direct bilateral communication.
