The emperor and empress were received by Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh and guards of honour at the Hanoi airport, where national flags were displayed. The 83-year-old Akihito and his wife, Michiko, are on their first visit to the country, the latest in a series of trips to former battlegrounds.
Malaysian firms linked to North Korea spy front shut: police
Two Malaysian firms linked to a North Korean front company the UN says was selling military equipment will be closed down, police in Kuala Lumpur said Tuesday as they investigate the assassination of Kim Jong-Nam. The move comes as previously friendly relations between Kuala Lumpur and Pyongyang have been badly strained by the killing with a nerve agent of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un's half brother at a Malaysian airport on February 13. The Malaysian companies -- International Global System and International Golden Services -- have been connected to Glocom, which a United Nations' report said was based in Malaysia and operated by Pyongyang's intelligence agency.
