Zimbabwe on Friday appeared to back away from an announcement that North Korea’s national team would train in the country ahead of the World Cup.
This follows protests over the Asian country’s role in training an army unit accused of killing thousands of people.
Tourism Minister Walter Mzembi last month announced the North Korean team would train in Zimbabwe.
But Sports Minister David Coltart said on Friday the visit had not been finalised.
“First of all, it has not been confirmed that they are coming at all.
“If they did come, clearly, we will handle it in a sensitive way that recognises the history and emotions around the matter,” Coltart said.
