UK rebukes North Korea for misrepresenting election observers

Supreme People's Assembly elections coverage showcases North Korea's "capacity to misrepresent events," FCO says

The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FC) on Wednesday condemned North Korean state media for its “capacity to misrepresent events” over recent coverage of elections in the DPRK.

The rebuke, which came following North Korean suggestions that British election observers had been “deeply moved” at the “deeply advantageous” nature of the DPRK election system, said that London actually viewed the March 8 Supreme People’s Assembly election as a “demonstration of the lack of democracy in DPRK”.
