Belarus opens new diplomatic missions in Asia, announcing it has established an embassy in North Korea and opened an embassy in Myanmar. Minsk’s foreign ministry states the North Korea embassy opens “this month,” though its announcement does not give a specific opening date.
The North Korea mission is described as delayed. One outlet reports it was initially planned to launch nearly three months earlier, but it opens later than expected. The announcement also does not provide the name of the ambassador to the DPRK. In parallel, Belarus opens its embassy in Myanmar during the same month, according to the ministry’s readouts summarized by the outlets. While both outlets agree on the openings, they differ in emphasis—one highlights the belated timing for the North Korea embassy, while the other presents the broader step of establishing embassies in both countries without detailing timing or personnel.
