LIMA - Peru said on Monday that it was expelling North Korea's ambassador over the country's refusal to heed the world's "constant calls" to end its nuclear program.
The ambassador, Kim Hak-Chol, has five days to leave Peru, the foreign affairs ministry said in a statement.
Peru stressed that it was committed to a peaceful solution to the dispute and "strict compliance" with resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council.
Peru said it would "carry out all diplomatic efforts aimed at denuclearizing the North Korean peninsula."
North Korea's embassy in Lima declined comment.
