North Korea is poised to close as many as a dozen embassies including in Spain, Hong Kong, and multiple countries in Africa, according to media reports and analysts, in a move that could see nearly 25 percent of Pyongyang's missions close worldwide. North Korea's recent closing of its diplomatic missions was a sign that the reclusive country is struggling to make money overseas because of international sanctions, South Korea's unification ministry said on Tuesday. On Monday, North Korean state media outlet KCNA said the country's ambassadors paid «farewell» visits to Angolan and Ugandan leaders last week, and local media in both African countries reported the shutdown of the North's embassies there. Both Angola and Uganda have forged friendly ties with North Korea since the 1970s, maintaining military cooperation and providing rare sources of foreign currency such as statue-building projects.

Stalin pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his earlier role as Gujarat Chief Minister, had often spoken backing the rights of states. «However, after he came to Delhi as Prime Minister, the very first sentence of the Constitution, 'India, that is Bharat, shall be a union of states', became a thing of dislike for him.» The Centre does not «allow» the states to even function within the Constitutional framework and it is not inclined to listening to the states either, Stalin claimed.
