Senior North Korean figures visit Cuban embassy

(28 Nov 2016) Senior North Korean officials visited the Cuban Embassy in Pyongyang on Monday to pay their respects and express condolences on the death of former Cuban President, Fidel Castro. They were led by the Vice-chairman of the ruling Worker's Party, Kim Ki Nam who signed a book of condolences and hailed Castro's legacy. North Korea is observing a three-day period of mourning for Castro, seen by the North as a rare comrade-in-arms against the common enemy of the United States. The North has ordered flags outside official buildings be flown at half-mast to honour Castro, state media reported. The iconic Cuban leader died Friday at age 90. Reports from Pyongyang said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent a wreath to the Cuban Embassy and that a delegation of senior North Korean officials has left for Havana to attend Castro's memorial services. Fidel Castro visited North Korea in 1986, and Havana and Pyongyang have maintained close ties.
