Representatives of pro-North Korea friendship groups in the U.K., Russia and several other countries will travel to Pyongyang in April for a major holiday, marking the first time such foreign delegates will visit the DPRK since before the pandemic.

Dermot Hudson, head of the U.K. Korean Friendship Association (KFA), told NK News that he is set to visit Pyongyang on April 11 and stay in North Korea for a week. 

The trip will coincide with the Day of the Sun on April 15, the country’s most important holiday celebrating the birth anniversary of DPRK founding leader Kim Il Sung.
