For the first time in four years: German delegation visits North Korea. It is unclear whether the German embassy in the North Korean capital will resume operations soon.
The current delegation trip “does not represent a preliminary decision on a possible reopening of the embassy,” according to the Foreign Office. North Korea is the only country in the world that has still not fully opened up to the outside world after the end of the corona pandemic. For years, North Koreans have only been able to leave the dictatorially ruled country with a special permit.
