朝鲜宣布与马来西亚断交，声称：幕后黑手美国也将付出代价

声明表示，马来西亚当局17日以涉嫌“非法洗钱”为由将一名无辜的朝鲜公民强行引渡至美国，彻底破坏了两国关系中相互尊重主权的基础，鉴于当前的严重事态，朝方因此决定断绝与“屈服美国强权而对朝鲜做出特大敌对行为”的马来西亚的外交关系。

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has announced severance of diplomatic relations with Malaysia after Malaysia's top court ruled in favor of extraditing one of DPRK nationals to the United States to face money laundering charges, the official Korean Central News Agency reported Friday.

"With regard to the grave situation that has prevailed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK hereby announces total severance of the diplomatic relations with Malaysia which committed super-large hostile act against the DPRK in subservience to the US pressure," the report said.

声明称，该朝鲜公民多年在新加坡从事合法对外贸易活动，其涉嫌洗钱是荒唐无稽的捏造和阴谋，马来西亚方面也从未提出过任何确凿证据。

声明指出，马来西亚当局盲目追随美国不当的压力，甚至无视公认的国际法，把朝鲜公民当做美国敌视政策的牺牲品。从现在起，马来西亚将要对双方之间可能发生的任何后果负全部责任。声明还警告美国作为这起事件的幕后操纵者也将付出应有的代价。

The report added that the businessman was engaged in "legitimate external trade activities" and warned that the Malaysian authority would "bear full responsibility for all the consequences to be incurred between the two countries."

据悉，朝鲜和马来西亚1973年正式建交。
