People have contacted us about the latest media rumours . These are false for several reasons:
-under protocols between the DPRK and China and general diplomatic protocols no announcement could be made by a third party without the first party announcing it first
– The Chinese doctors story is nonsense because
a) they would need to be quarantined for 2 months on arrival in the DPRK
b) DPRK has closed the border
c) DPRK has its own doctors and hospitals so no need for doctors from a third country
-no announcement in Xinhua the official Chinese News Agency.
Alejandro Cao De Benos President of KFA said “the information that there is no death or serious health condition is official”
The vile and mendacious rumours are being spread to divert attention away from the Covid 19 crisis which has claimed 200,000 lives and is spiraling out of control . They are also part of a conspiracy by imperialist intelligence services to destablise the DPRK and overthrow the socialist system
