KYODO -- European ambassadors to Pyongyang stayed away from last week's commemoration of the anniversary of the late North Korean founder's birthday to protest the country's recent rocket launch, diplomatic sources said Wednesday.
The ambassadors from most of the seven European Union countries that have embassies in Pyongyang skipped events, including a ceremony at Kim Il Sung's mausoleum and a weeklong song and dance performance, held to mark his April 15 birthday, the sources said.
