Abstract
Many assume that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, more commonly known as North Korea, ruled by Kim Jong Un, is an isolated nation with ties only to its neighbors, China and Russia; however, that is far from the case. North Korea has a plethora of relations with other nations across the globe, most common in Africa and Southeast Asia. While these nations are relatively far from North Korea, that issue has not discouraged them from flourishing, as they often share underlying themes of mutual interest, economic necessity, and historical ties. This paper aims to explore the interactions between North Korea and African and Southeast Asian nations in order to discover the strategic significance that empowers the Kim Dynasty.
