India says it won't close embassy in North Korea

Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj
India said it plans to maintain its embassy in North Korea, citing a need to keep channels of communication open with the reclusive state.


Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said Wednesday during talks with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in New Delhi that embassy-level diplomatic ties will not be scrapped despite Pyongyang's provocations, Yonhap reported.

Swaraj also said trade with North Korea has declined and the embassy in Pyongyang is "very small," according to the report.

The top Indian diplomat also said she had told Tillerson of India's decision and that countries with friendly ties with the United States should stay to keep communication open with North Korea.

In April at the United Nations Security Council, Tillerson said members of the U.N. should suspend or downgrade diplomatic relations with North Korea.
