Algeria has an embassy in Seoul whilst Japan has an embassy in Algiers. The two countries officially established diplomatic relations on January 15, 1990.
Overview Since gaining independence from France in 1962, Algeria pursued a foreign policy centered on the Non-Aligned Movement, whereas South Korea belonged to the Western bloc during the Cold War; due to these differences in diplomatic approaches, official diplomatic relations between the two countries were established relatively late. During the Cold War, Algeria placed importance on solidarity with the Third World and non-aligned nations, while South Korea gradually expanded diplomatic relations with African countries.
