Mexico Expels North Korean Ambassador

The Mexican government has declared the North Korean ambassador to Mexico a persona non grata in response to the North’s sixth nuclear test on Sunday.
 
In a statement, the Mexican foreign ministry said Thursday that the government gave Kim Hyong Gil 72 hours to leave Mexico in order to express its “absolute rejection” of North Korea’s recent nuclear activity.

It said that the North’s nuclear provocations are "a serious risk for international peace and security and represents a growing threat to nations in the region."

However, Mexico reportedly isn't considering breaking diplomatic ties with North Korea.
