KUALA LUMPUR, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia's Foreign Ministry on Monday summoned Ambassador of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kang Chol to seek an explanation over a statement he had made on the police investigation of a deceased DPRK man.
The deceased man was reportedly to be Kim Jong Nam, the elder half-brother of DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un.
In a strongly worded statement on Friday, Kang accused the Malaysian government of having "something to conceal" in its investigation, purposely delaying the release of the body and conducting the autopsy unilaterally.
The Malaysian government viewed the criticism as baseless, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement after the summon meeting, which was called upon by the ministry's Deputy Secretary General for Bilateral Affairs Nushirwan Zainal Abidin.
