Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- The Kenyan government in a recent statement chided the western countries for their unreasonable travel restrictions on Kenya.

Western countries issued travel advisories, talking about instability in Kenya, the statement said, adding this hinders Kenya's economic development.

Kenya is safe, it noted, adding: The big economy countries should consider the millions of people who depend on tourism in terms of employment and livelihoods before making decisions that end up impacting negatively.
