North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has replaced key foreign ministry officials and ambassadors, according to state media.
The changes were reported on March 24, 2026, by the Rodong Sinmun, showing Kim with new appointees.
Analysts say the reshuffle signals a shift in North Korea's diplomatic strategy amid stalled talks.
The new team includes younger diplomats, possibly to align with Kim's long-term goals.
No specific names or reasons were given for the dismissals, but it follows recent economic challenges.
This move comes as North Korea seeks to strengthen ties with China and Russia.
