South Korea's decision to establish diplomatic relations with Cuba is expected to have significant political and psychological implications for North Korea, according to the country's presidential office. The move comes as North Korea has been actively seeking support from its Cold War allies, such as Russia and China, to counter tensions with the United States and assert itself on the world stage.
The announcement of ambassador-level relations between South Korea and Cuba followed a meeting between their respective United Nations representatives in New York. While North Korea has yet to comment on the agreement, it traditionally portrays its relations with Cuba as 'brotherly ties,' indicating the significance of this development.
