Permanent Mission of North Korea to the United Nations

[1] After North Korea became a member of the World Health Organization, it was entitled to observer status in the UN and thus could establish a permanent mission.[6][7] Since North Korea does not have an embassy to the United States, the mission is its only form of diplomatic representation it has in the country.[8] In 2016, following the detention of US citizen Otto Warmbier in North Korea, the mission threatened to sever this "New York channel" of communication between the two countries.North Korean diplomats are generally expected to earn money to pay their living expenses, with the state providing only for minimum operational costs of a mission.Staff is paid a meager salary of $300 to $600 per month and need to employ various means to reduce their cost of living.
