Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what duties the UK’s Defence Attaché to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has undertaken since their appointment; how often they have visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; and what is the estimated cost of maintaining that post.

The UK’s non-resident Defence Attaché to the Democratic People’s Republic for Korea has held two meetings with his counterparts since taking office. The issues were related to the accreditation process required by the UK’s non-resident Defence Attaché. The Defence Attaché has not visited the Democratic Republic of Korea. There are no identified costs associated with maintaining this post.
