North Korea has opened a new embassy office at a prestigious fifteenth-floor address in downtown Singapore, photos published by Aram Pan's DPRK 360 and the website of Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed on Wednesday.

The move to 1 North Bridge road's High Street Centre building, which comes amid tightening new sanctions and pressure on North Korea, is notable for its high-end location, adjacent to Singapore's parliament house building, Supreme Court and national gallery.
