Embassies
The following countries have embassies in Pyongyang:
Most embassies are located in a special area of the city, known as the Munsu-dong Diplomatic Compound. The Russian, Pakistani and Chinese embassies are located outside the diplomatic compound, as they are much larger than the other embassies.
The former East German embassy is the center of activity in the diplomatic quarter, as it houses the British, German, and Swedish embassies. Sweden acts as the protecting power for Australia, Canada, and the United States, provides consular services for the Nordic countries, and handles visa applications for Italy and Spain. The British embassy provides consular assistance to any Commonwealth citizen whose country is not represented in North Korea, except for those whose governments have opted out of this arrangement.
Several countries formerly maintained embassies in Pyongyang but have since closed them down: Albania, Australia, Hungary, Iraq, Libya, Portugal, Sri Lanka, South Yemen, and Yugoslavia.
