Embassy of North Korea

Amidst the diplomatic buzz of Jakarta, the Embassy of North Korea stands as a quiet enigma. The Embassy of North Korea resides at Jalan Teluk Betung Number 2. It’s a relatively unassuming building, yet it represents a nation shrouded in mystery. The Embassy of North Korea serves as the official representation of North Korea in Indonesia. It facilitates communication and manages diplomatic relations between the two countries. Mr. Jang Chang Chon is the ambassador of North Korea to Indonesia. He leads the embassy’s operations. You can reach the embassy by phone at (+62) (21) 3190-8425 or (+62) (21) 3190-8437. For those needing to send a fax, the numbers are (+62) (21) 3190-8445 and (+62) (21) 3190-8419. Alternatively, you can communicate via email at dprkorea@rad.net.id. The embassy plays a multifaceted role. It promotes North Korean interests within Indonesia, covering development, cultural affairs, and press relations. Did you know that Indonesia and North Korea share a history going back to their founding fathers? President Sukarno of Indonesia and Kim Il-sung of North Korea fostered a friendship. A unique symbol of this bond is the Kimilsungia orchid. This flower, named after Kim Il-sung, became North Korea’s national flower after Sukarno presented it during a state visit. Indonesia even participates in North Korea’s annual Kimilsungia Flower Festival. While Indonesia maintains close ties with South Korea, it continues to engage with North Korea, believing in the power of dialogue and cooperation. This is reflected in the embassy’s continued operation in Jakarta. Despite international sanctions, Indonesia provides humanitarian aid to North Korea. This underscores its commitment to maintaining relations. A visit to the Embassy of North Korea offers a glimpse into this complex relationship.
