Xinhua, July 1, 2016 Adjust font size:

Top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong Un said on Thursday that the DPRK-Cuba friendship and cooperation "will grow stronger," the official news agency KCNA reported Friday.

Kim said this when meeting head of a delegation of the Cuban Communist Party Salvador Antonio Valdes Mesa, vice president of Cuba's Council of State and a special envoy of Cuban President Raul Castro.

He said that although the DPRK and Cuba are far away, they are fighting the common struggle against imperialism, and that the Workers' Party of Korea, the government and people of the DPRK always stand by the side of the Cuban party, government and people.

Valdes Mesa said that developing friendship and cooperation with the DPRK is the steadfast policy of the party and government of Cuba, and that bilateral friendship has grown strong under the special care of Kim and Castro.

The Cuban delegation arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday for a three-day visit. Endi
