Amid rumors emerging in the Israeli press that North Korea may be supplying Egypt with ballistic missile components, the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) announced on Monday that Pyongyang and Cairo have  signed a 2013-2015 ‘Working Plan for Cultural Cooperation’.

The KCNA said on that the Cultural Cooperation agreement was made between the staff of the Egyptian Embassy in Pyongyang and a North Korean delegation led by Hwang Ho Nam, vice-chairman of the Korean Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries.

Little detail was given about the specifics of the Cultural Cooperation agreement – which appears unrelated to Israeli missile rumors –
