Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has accidentally thanked North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un for face masks donated by South Korea.
A photo of Kim was uploaded to the ministry's Twitter account on Wednesday along with a caption thanking the southern nation.
"The Argentine government thanks the Republic of Korea for donating 200,000 KF94 protective masks as part of the bilateral cooperation between both countries to combat the COVID-19 pandemic," the tweet said.
Social media users were quick to point out the mistake and the photo has since been changed to a stock ministry image.
The ministry tweeted a few hours later, appearing to confirm the photo.
"Today a tweet was published linked to a note on the Foreign Ministry website that Twitter illustrated with images that did not come from the ministry's system. The fact is under investigation."
Commenters online have called out the ministry as "useless" saying they should at least know the difference between the two countries.
