North Korea appoints new ambassadors to Britain and Indonesia in rare diplomatic reshuffle

Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 10:13 · 1 min read

North Korea has named new ambassadors to Britain and Indonesia for the first time in roughly a decade, according to the North's foreign ministry. Mun Myong-sin will serve as Pyongyang's envoy to London, while Hong Kwang-Il has been appointed ambassador to Indonesia and will also represent the country to ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a 10-member regional bloc). The moves are part of a broader diplomatic push by Pyongyang, which has recently appointed new envoys to Nigeria, Brazil, and Belarus as it seeks to re-engage internationally.
