Diplomatic relations edit
Until 2001,[2] North Korea's post-World War II policy toward Turkey was mainly aimed at minimizing cooperation between Turkey and South Korea.[3] In a quest to end its diplomatic and economic isolation,[4] North Korea established diplomatic relations on June 27, 2001.[1]
When the Bush administration determined that North Korea was in violation of the 1994 agreement on North Korea's nuclear weapons program,[5][6] bilateral relations between the two nations have been very limited.[5]
Economic relations edit
- Trade volume between the two countries was negligible in 2019.[1]
