Cuban President Visits Kim Jong-un in North Korea

It looks like Kim Jong-un is continuing his strategy of looking like a normal world leader by receiving presidents for state visits:

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has received Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel with “magnificent” welcoming events, North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Monday, with Kim repeatedly stressing “the strategic and comradely friendship with Cuba.”

Diaz-Canel’s visit to North Korea marked the first by a Cuban president since former President Fidel Castro’s 1986 visit, though Diaz-Canel has traveled to North Korea before, meeting Kim Jong-un as Cuban vice president back in 2015.

According to the KCNA, Kim Jong-un and his wife Ri Sol-ju greeted Diaz-Canel and his wife Lis Cuesta Peraza at Pyongyang International Airport on Sunday.

Following a 21-gun salute from the Korean People’s Army, Kim and Diaz-Canel reviewed the honor guards of the KPA. The two leaders also took part in a car parade through the streets of Pyongyang to arrive at the Paekhwawon State Guest House, where the Cuban delegation would stay.  [Korea Times]
