A source from the British Foreign Office said Wednesday that the UK had invited a North Korean representative to attend Queen Elizabeth’s funeral on Monday, but Afghanistan, Syria and Venezuela would not receive invitations.
The source said the invitation to North Korea would be at the ambassadorial level.
Queen Elizabeth’s funeral will be held in London on September 19, and a number of world leaders, royalty and other dignitaries have already said they will attend.
Syria and Venezuela will not be invited as the UK does not currently have diplomatic relations with these countries. The source said that Afghanistan was not invited due to the current political situation.
Among the uninvited are joining Russia, Myanmar and Belarus.
