##朝鲜任命新任驻泰国大使，重启海外外交活动
**韩联社首尔8月20日电** 朝鲜外务省20日发布任命消息，韩在成获任驻泰国大使。此举标志着朝鲜在新冠疫情后加速重启海外面对面外交活动的步伐。
前任驻泰国大使金济峰于2018年10月被任命，今年8月离职，担任这一外交职位近6年。据悉，新任大使韩在成此前不曾在朝鲜官媒上露面，其履历和外交经验尚待进一步了解。
近年来，朝鲜因新冠疫情而大幅减少海外外交活动，驻外大使的任命也较为罕见。自上月起，朝鲜外务省接连任免驻外大使，7月30日任命驻越南、新加坡大使，8月1日、8日分别任命驻罗马尼亚和古巴大使等。
分析人士认为，朝鲜此举意在加强与东南亚国家的外交关系，并为重启经济发展寻找新的合作机会。泰国作为东南亚地区的重要国家，与朝鲜在经贸、文化等领域拥有合作潜力。
朝鲜驻泰国大使馆自2019年7月起一直保持着低调的姿态，此次新任大使的任命或将为朝鲜与泰国之间的关系注入新的活力。未来，朝鲜驻泰国大使将如何推动两国关系发展，值得关注。

##North Korea Appoints New Ambassador to Thailand, Signaling Resumption of Overseas Diplomacy
**SEOUL, Aug. 20 (Yonhap)** – NorthKorea’s Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that Han Jae-seong has been appointed as the new ambassador to Thailand. This move marks an acceleration of North Korea’s efforts to resume in-person diplomacy abroad after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The previous ambassador to Thailand, Kim Je-bong, was appointedin October 2018 and served for nearly six years before leaving his post in August. Han Jae-seong, the new ambassador, has not previously appeared in North Korean state media, and his background and diplomatic experience remain unclear.
In recent years, North Korea has significantly reduced its overseas diplomatic activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the appointment of ambassadors abroad has been rare. Since last month, the North Korean Foreign Ministry has been appointing and dismissingambassadors abroad. On July 30, it appointed ambassadors to Vietnam and Singapore, followed by ambassadors to Romania and Cuba on August 1 and 8, respectively.
Analysts believe that North Korea’s move aims to strengthen diplomatic relations with Southeast Asian countries and seek new opportunities for economic cooperation. Thailand, a keycountry in Southeast Asia, has potential for cooperation with North Korea in areas such as trade, economy, and culture.
North Korea’s embassy in Thailand has maintained a low profile since July 2019. The appointment of a new ambassador could inject new vitality into relations between the two countries. It remains tobe seen how the new ambassador will promote the development of bilateral relations.
