SEOUL, May 1 Asia Pulse - Amid warnings that North Korea is facing a food crisis this year, a European humanitarian aid agency plans to close its office in Pyongyang in mid-May, a Washington-based radio station said on April 29.
Radio Free Asia (RFA) quoted Simon Horner, spokesman of the European Commission's Head of Information and Communication (ECHO), as saying the agency will shut down the office on May 14 in line with the reduction of humanitarian aid to the communist state. The aid program has been carried out under consultations with the North every year.
Horner reportedly said that the condition of the North is stable for the time being, though it is still vulnerable to shocks from the outside.
