Havana (AFP) Nov 4, 2010
Cuban President Raul Castro and top North Korean military official Ri Yong Ho hailed their countries' close bilateral ties, after holding meetings in Havana, official media here reported Thursday.

The meeting, held in Havana's Palace of the Revolution, underscored the "excellent state of bilateral relations" and the "historic ties of friendship" that unite the two countries, according to the statement in the daily Granma government newspaper.

Vice-Marshal Ri, a general who is chief of staff of the North Korean Popular Army, arrived in Cuba Monday for a "dialogue dealing with current international issues."

The newspaper said top Cuban military leaders also attended the meeting.

Ri is quoted in the article as singling out the strong military cooperation between the two countries, which he said form a "common anti-Yankee front" against the United States.
