Nigeria Reopens North Korea Embassy After Long Closure


Read Time: < 1 minute

Nigeria has resumed operations at its embassy in Pyongyang, North Korea, after a closure that began during the global COVID-19 outbreak in 2021.

 This move makes Nigeria one of only two African countries, alongside Egypt, with a diplomatic presence in North Korea.  

During the embassy’s closure, diplomatic activities between the two nations were managed through Nigeria’s mission in Abuja. 

The Nigerian envoy, Patrick Imodu Imologhome, recently met with Russia’s ambassador to North Korea to discuss the reopening.  

North Korea, which had sealed its borders at the start of the pandemic in 2020, only began allowing foreign diplomats back into the country in mid-2023. 

Despite the challenges, both nations maintained their longstanding ties, established in 1976, through ongoing communications.  

Nigeria joins a select group of nations with embassies in Pyongyang, reflecting a strategic decision to re-establish its presence in the isolated nation.
