[2][4] The embassy of North Korea had been opened in Poland in 1951, with its headquarters being located in the capital city of Warsaw, in the Pod Karczochem Palace at 14 Ujazdów Avenue.

The works on the designing and construction of the new embassy building, located at 1a Bobrowiecka Street in Warsaw, began in 1966.

The new building had been ceremonially opened in 1984 by Kim Il Sung, President of North Korea.

[2][5][6] The government of North Korea rents a portion of the embassy as office space for commercial businesses.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland demands complete suspension of such activities, noting that renting embassies for profit is against international law.
