North Korea’s state media reported Wednesday that the country has opened an embassy in Belarus, where thousands of North Korean workers are said to be working to earn hard currency for their home country, the Yonhap News Agency reported.
An inauguration ceremony was held in the capital city Minsk on Monday, according to North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency.
“Present there on invitation were personages of the government, political parties, parliament and social circles of Belarus,” it said.
The report said a delegation headed by a director from the North Korea’s foreign ministry was also present at the ceremony.
North Korea has maintained a representative office in the Belarus capital.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which is the official name of the country, is said to have some 58,000 laborers working in some 40 countries, including Belarus, China, Russia and Vietnam, to earn foreign currency for their government.
Pyongyang remains cut off from many sources of hard currency by a series of international sanctions.
