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 number of North Korea's diplomatic missions has been shrinking since the 1990s due to financial constraints, and the closure of embassies could mean the closure of nearly 25% of its missions worldwide.
  • 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.
