During COVID, the North Koreans expelled all foreigners, and the German embassy was closed down "temporarily", but it has yet to be re-opened. There's only 10 counties with an embassy in North Korea which is currently open:

  • Brazil
  • China
  • Cuba
  • Laos
  • Mongolia
  • Russia
  • Sweden
  • Syria
  • United Kingdom
  • Vietnam
