Seoul’s Foreign Minister Yun Byung-Se said Wednesday in London that the killing was a chance for the international community “to take a series of steps” against the North.
Yun said the assassination by the North, if confirmed, would constitute a “serious breach” of international order.
“If North Korea is confirmed to have been behind the killing, the international community would view this as a state-led act of terrorism that infringes upon Malaysia’s sovereignty”, Yun was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency after a meeting with British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Malaysian police say they want to talk to a total of eight North Koreans, although they think several may have fled to Pyongyang immediately after the killing.
