 Evergreen Out of Steppe: North Korea’s crumbling former embassy in TashkentA trip to the former DPRK embassy in Uzbekistan reflects N. Korea's estrangement from former allies  Far out of the center of town, and well out of the mainstream of local affairs, the building which once housed the North Korean embassy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, is surrounded by reminders of a different era. The wide boulevard onto which the one-storey edifice faces is named after the Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli. The building next-door, a hotel, is a monument to the distinctive shapes into which Soviet concrete was molded in Central Asia. © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
