Indonesia–North Korea relations refers to the bilateral relations of Indonesia and North Korea. Indonesia is one of the very few countries that still maintain cordial relations with North Korea, despite international sanctions and isolation applied upon North Korea concerning its human rights abuses and nuclear missile program. Both nations share a relationship that dates back to the Sukarno and Kim Il-sung era in the 60s. Indonesia has an embassy in Pyongyang, while North Korea has an embassy in Jakarta. Both nations are members of the Non-Aligned Movement. According to a 2013 BBC World Service Poll, 42% of Indonesians view North Korea's influence positively, with 22% expressing a negative view. This is the second most favorable opinion in the world after Ghana's.〔(2013 World Service Poll ) ''BBC''〕 ==History== During President Kim Il-sung’s visit to Indonesia in 1965, President Soekarno was showing the North Korean leader around the Bogor Botanical Gardens when the latter was smitten by an orchid from Makassar. President Sukarno promptly named the flower ''Kimilsungia'' and appointed it as the symbol of the eternal friendship between the two countries. The ''Kimilsungia'' violet orchid, has become an integral part of the ever-present state-sponsored propaganda that surrounds the late leader. In March 2002, president Megawati Soekarnoputri visited Pyongyang. In 2002, the president of the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Council of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Kim Yong-nam, met president Megawati Soekarnoputri. In 2005 president Kim Yong-nam also visited Indonesia to attend the Asian-African Conference Commemorative. In May 2012, president Kim Yong-nam, paid an official visit to Jakarta. The visit prompted Indonesian Human Rights and Democracy activists to call on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to help push for democratization and respect for human rights in the isolated state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indonesia–North Korea relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
