Ever wondered what it would be like to work at an embassy in Pyongyang? How dangerous it might be, how effective diplomacy may or may not be, or even just want it’s like to live in North Korea?
Ambassador John Everard served as the UK’s lead diplomat in Pyongyang for over two years in the mid-2000s, and sat down with the NK News Podcast to discuss his experience on the ground, his analysis of North Korea’s diplomatic and national security objectives, and why he is pessimistic about prospects for peace in 2020.
Ambassador John Everard is the former British ambassador to North Korea and a former member of the United Nations’ Panel of Experts on the DPRK. He is also the author of “Only Beautiful Please,” an account of his time living in the DPRK.
