India's friendship with North Korea.
India has been making friends with many countries, and now it’s looking at North Korea. This is a special move because North Korea is a country that likes to keep secrets.
In 2021, India had an embassy in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, India closed it. The ambassador and all the staff went back to India. People wondered, “Will the embassy open again?”
Now, in December 2024, India has decided to reopen the embassy!

Team reaches Pyongyang.
A team from India has reached Pyongyang to prepare the embassy. Their first job? Make sure the building is safe! They are checking for hidden cameras or microphones. North Korea is known for spying on people, so India wants to be extra careful.
It might take some time to open the embassy fully. In North Korea, even simple tasks like meeting the ambassador can take a long time.
The reason behind the decision.
North Korea is building dangerous weapons like missiles and nuclear bombs. India and other countries are worried. India also thinks North Korea might help Pakistan, which could be a problem for India.
India is already friends with countries like Russia, Iran, and China. These countries are close to North Korea. By reopening the embassy, India hopes to stay informed and make sure these weapons don’t cause trouble.
India’s embassy reopening is a smart way to keep peace and make new friends. Let’s see how this story unfolds!
