Bulgaria is preparing to reopen its embassy in Pyongyang this week after several years of closure, the country’s foreign ministry told NK News on Monday, signaling a modest revival of bilateral ties amid North Korea’s ongoing diplomatic isolation.
“Bulgaria’s diplomatic mission in Pyongyang was temporarily closed in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Its reopening in line with the EU’s ‘critical engagement' policy toward the DPRK is expected to be in April,” the ministry said.
