North Korea is not known to have sponsored any international terrorist attacks since 1987. While the North Korean Government has not publicly renounced terrorism, it did agree to abandon violence against the South in the December 1991 reconciliation agreement with South Korea. North Korea has also assured the Philippines that it has broken its ties to the Communist New People's Army (NPA). Pyongyang continues to provide political asylum to a small group of Japanese Communist League Red Army Faction members who hijacked a Japanese Airlines flight to North Korea in 1970.
