Diplomatic missions of the DPRK (blue) and the DPRK (red)

This is a list of diplomatic missions of the DPRK.

In the Cold War era its foreign policy was focused on the Soviet bloc countries, while it actively courted allies in the developing world.[citation needed] This was more out of political necessity, as the DPRK competed with the Republic of Korea for diplomatic recognition.[citation needed] Eventually countries began recognizing both governments on the Korean Peninsula, and the DPRK's missions in the developing world are more concerned with running aid programs and maintaining political mileage than obtaining any economic benefits.[citation needed]

The DPRK was very slow to open embassies in Western Europe.[citation needed] Sweden for some time was the only country in the West which had a DPRK presence.[citation needed]
