Pyongyang seeks return of citizen's body

KUALA LUMPUR - A high-level delegation from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea arrived in Malaysia on Tuesday to seek the repatriation of the body of a citizen, who was killed during an incident at Kuala Lumpur's airport on Feb 13.

The delegation, led by the country's former ambassador to the United Nations, Ri Tong-il, will also seek the release of a citizen arrested as a suspect in the case.

The team will discuss with Malaysian officials "the development of friendly relations" between the two countries, Ri told reporters outside the DPRK embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
