History

[edit]

During theCold War, the DPRK underKim Il Sung maintained a close relationship with the long-time military ruler of the Central African Republic,Jean-Bédel Bokassa. While Bokassa was aright-winganti-communist, this appears to have had no effect on their relationship.[1] Diplomatic relations between the two countries began on 5 September 1969;[2][3] however, other sources cite the date 28 January 1965.[4]: xxi  Although the CAR (andChad, which also established relations with North Korea in 1969) had previously only maintained relations withSouth Korea, this did not lead to South Korea breaking off relations. This served as an importantprecedent that "allowed many governments to opt for anon-partisan approach".[5]: 132 

In 1976, Bokassa proclaimed himself Emperor Bokassa I, and declared theCentral African Empire. The eccentric dictator's first foreign visit afterhis lavish coronation was toPyongyang in 1978 (just ahead of a Franco-African Summit inParis), where he signed a treaty of peace and friendship with Kim.[1][6]

Friendly relations continued even after Bokassawas overthrown in 1979. As North Korea promoted its identification with the cause of theNon-Aligned Movement,André Kolingba went on state visits to Pyongyang in 1982 and 1983[7][4]: xxvi  and a delegation includingGeneral Guillaume Lapo visited in 1984.[8] According toKorea Today,Kim Jong Il was awarded theOrder of Central African Merit by the CAR in 1983.[9][10] By March 1986, the DPRK had supplied 13 technicians to the Central African Republic, seemingly to counter South Korean influence in the country.[5]: 214
