North Korea Closes 4 Diplomatic Missions, Suggesting Economic Woes
- North Korea has closed several embassies recently, claiming it is a regular affair to improve external relations, but experts suggest it is due to their dire economic situation and strengthening sanctions.

- The closures may be a sign of a change in North Korea's diplomatic strategy, focusing on key countries like China and Russia instead of traditional allies.
