Italy has ordered North Korea's incoming new ambassador to leave the country in a protest over Kim Jong-Un's missile launches and nuclear tests. <br/><br/>This was announced by the Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano in an interview with Italian daily La Repubblica, today. <br/><br/>Alfano said, Italy has taken a firm decision to interrupt the accreditation procedure and the ambassador will have to leave the country. He said Italy want to make Pyongyang understand that isolation is inevitable if it does not change course. <br/><br/>However, Alfano said, Italy is not breaking off diplomatic relations, because it can always be useful to maintain a channel of communications.<br/><br/>North Korea nominated long-serving foreign ministry official Mun Jong-Nam as its new ambassador to Rome in July. The diplomat had started working in Rome but not completed his registration with the Italian authorities.
