NK paper stresses close relations with Cuba amid impasse in nuclear talks
By YonhapPublished : March 11, 2021 - 15:07
North Korea's main newspaper on Thursday stressed close relations with Cuba in time for the 35th anniversary of a former Cuban leader's visit to Pyongyang.
The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the ruling Workers' Party, said in an editorial that the two countries are "firmly united by a sense of comradery in the common battle for socialism."
"We will continue to put our best efforts to strengthen our unwavering friendship and solidarity with the people of Cuba," the paper said.
North Korea and Cuba have maintained close relations since establishing diplomatic ties in 1960.
Fidel Castro, former Cuban leader, visited the North in March 1986 at the invitation of late former North Korean leader and state founder Kim Il-sung.
In November 2018, Cuban President Miguel Mario Diaz-Canel Bermudez visited Pyongyang and met with leader Kim Jong-un.
