North Korea is making a series of outreaches to communist nations and other Kim regime-friendly countries to tighten up ties with them, showing a stark contrast to its strategy of severing its connections with Seoul and Washington.
Pyongyang s state-run Rodong Shinmun reported on its front-page article on Thursday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sent a message to congratulate Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on his birthday.

Thousands of North Koreans wearing masks danced in a plaza and climbed a hill in Pyongyang to mark the 109th birthday of the country s founder despite Kim Jong Un s claims there have been no coronavirus cases in the state.
The grandfather of the current leader, Kim Il Sung, was born 109 years ago and April 15 is the most important public holiday, known as the Day of the Sun.
No major events like a military parade were expected this year as North Korea typically stages them for anniversaries that end in zero and five but celebrations went ahead in lavish style.
