North Korean diplomat Ri Su Yong wraps up week-long trip to Cuba

DPRK delegation met with President, First Secretary Castro during June 3-9 stay

Senior North Korean diplomat Ri Su Yong on Monday finished up a week-long trip to Cuba, DPRK state media reported on Wednesday.

Ri, who serves as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the DPRK Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) and vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), left the Cuban capital on Monday, according to ruling party organ the Rodong Sinmun.

The visit was the first to Cuba by a high-ranking DPRK official since Miguel Díaz-Canel took office as President in April, though neither the North or Cuba’s state media went into extensive detail
