North Korea–Turkey relations (Korean:뛰르끼예-조선민주주의 인민공화국 관계) are the foreign relations between North Korea and Turkey. The Turkish ambassador in Seoul is accredited to North Korea.[1] North Korea's ambassador in Sofia, Bulgaria is accredited to Turkey.[1]

Diplomatic relations

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

  • Trade volume between the two countries was negligible in 2019.[1]
