Swiss foreign minister to visit North Korea this week, attend official reopening of Pyongyang diplomatic office [Financial News] Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis will visit North Korea this week for political talks with North Korean authorities and to attend the official reopening of Switzerland’s diplomatic office in Pyongyang.
据外媒26日报道（当地时间），卡西斯部长定于29日开始访问，并于次日在外交办事处开放仪式上会见朝鲜官员。
According to foreign media reports on the 26th (local time), Minister Cassis is set to begin his visit on the 29th and meet with North Korean officials at the diplomatic office’s opening ceremony scheduled for the following day.
双方会谈预计将涵盖广泛议题，包括瑞朝外交部之间的双边磋商、朝鲜半岛安全局势以及关键地缘政治问题。结束对朝鲜的访问后，卡西斯部长将直接前往首尔，与韩国政府官员会晤。
The two countries’ talks are expected to cover a wide range of issues, including bilateral consultations between the Swiss and North Korean foreign ministries, the security situation on the Korean Peninsula and key geopolitical issues. After completing his visit to North Korea, Minister Cassis will travel directly to Seoul to meet with South Korean government officials as well.
此次平壤办事处重新开放将由瑞士驻华大使馆领导，该使馆负责监管对朝外交和领事事务。对朝外交和领事关系的责任将继续由瑞士驻北京大使馆承担。该办事处于19日已开始实际运作，将使瑞士得以在朝鲜重建常驻外交代表机构。瑞士于1974年与朝鲜建立外交关系。
The Pyongyang office reopening this time will come under the direction of the Swiss Embassy in China, which oversees diplomatic and consular affairs for North Korea. Responsibility for diplomatic and consular relations with North Korea will remain with the Swiss Embassy in Beijing. The office, which began operating in practice on the 19th, will allow Switzerland to reestablish a resident diplomatic representation in North Korea. Switzerland established diplomatic relations with North Korea in 1974.
自1997年以来，瑞士通过隶属于外交部的瑞士发展与合作署（SDC）在平壤运营一个人道主义合作办事处，但该办事处不作为外交使团。因新冠疫情撤回当地工作人员后，该办事处于2020年暂停运作。
Since 1997, Switzerland had operated a humanitarian cooperation office in Pyongyang through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), which is part of the foreign ministry, but the office did not serve as a diplomatic mission. It suspended operations in 2020 after withdrawing its local staff because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
近年来，瑞士积极扩大与朝鲜的外交接触与往来，而欧盟（EU）实际上已冻结与该国的直接对话，这使得卡西斯部长的此次访问备受关注。[email protected] 尹在俊 记者
