Mun Jong-nam (died 8 March 2022) was a North Korean diplomat and official, who served as North Korea’s Ambassador to Syria. He also served abroad in Thailand and Italy.

Life and career

Mun Jong-nam was a long-time foreign ministry official.[2] He served in the international organization bureau at the North Korean foreign ministry.[3] He has also served as an official in the World Food Programme National Coordination Committee at Pyongyang.[4]

Mun had served in North Korea's embassy in Thailand.[3]

In July 2017 Mun was nominated to be the new ambassador to Rome, after the post had been vacant for over a year according to South Korean sources.[2] His predecessor Kim Chun-guk had died of liver cancer.[3] However, Italy demanded on 1 October as a retaliation for North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile tests that he should leave the country. Mun had started working in Italy but had not finished the accreditation process.[2] Italy had earlier approved his nomination.[5] Mun had been in Rome for about a month, as he had assumed the post on 28 August.[6][5]

At the time of his death Mun was the North Korean ambassador to Syria.[7][8] He presented his credentials on 30 May 2018 in Damascus.[9] During the ceremony, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is said by KCNA to have proclaimed that he will visit North Korea and meet with leader Kim Jong-un.[7][8][9]

Mun died from a stroke on 8 March 2022.[10]
