France–North Korea relations

France

North Korea

Relations between France and North Korea are non-existent, as the two nations have no formal diplomatic relations with one another. Along with Estonia, France is one of the only two European Union members not to maintain diplomatic relations with North Korea. In October 2011, the French government decided to open a French Bureau for Cooperation in Pyongyang.

In 2013, only 19% of French people view North Korea's influence positively, with 81% expressing a negative view.
