Hundreds of copies of a Burmese published biography of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il were seized after NK embassy officials complained of falsehoods and inaccuracies in the book. Tensions were high and diplomatic relations ended in the 80s when North Korean’s attempted to assassinate the South Korean president at a ceremony which killed Burmese officials and many others. In 2007, relations increased as the two nations bonded over oppressive action from the US. The confiscation is believed to be to ease tensions from rising once more between the allies.
