Overview
North Korea began diplomatic relations with Latin America in 1960 after establishing diplomatic ties with Cuba. From 1972 to 2007, North Korea further established diplomatic relations with more Latin American countries. Economic relations between North Korea and Latin America are limited due to sanctions on North Korea. North Korea's trade with Latin America reached $979 million in 2008 but had shrunk to $103 million in 2016.[1]
