PYONGYANG, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has sent condolences to Egypt over the deadly terrorist attack in Sinai last week, said the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) Monday.

Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, sent a message of sympathy to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Sunday, expressing condolences to the Middle East country, according to the KCNA.
