PETALING JAYA: The Foreign Ministry has announced a ban on Malaysians travelling to North Korea. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hereby informs the public that all Malaysians are banned from travelling to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) until further notice," the Ministry said in a statement on Thursday. Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes dominated the gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly earlier this month. Fears of a clash between the United States and North Korea were heightened after US bombers flew off the coast of North Korea on Saturday. For further inquiry, Malaysians may contact the Foreign Affairs Ministry at +603-80008000 (during office hours) or +603-88874570 (after office hours).
