Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis discussed security issues affecting both European and Asian nations during a visit to North Korea on Friday. He met with North Korea's Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui in Pyongyang for the formal reopening of Switzerland's diplomatic office there, which had been operational since October 19 but officially reopened on this date. The two ministers talked about regularizing political relations between their countries and re-establishing dialogue, focusing specifically on security challenges on the Korean Peninsula and across Eurasia. Cassis made these remarks in a post on X. Switzerland's diplomatic office in Pyongyang will report to the embassy in Beijing, which continues to handle diplomatic and consular relations with North Korea.
