A North Korean delegation of military officials are meeting with their Cambodian counterparts in Phnom Penh this week, officials said Tuesday.
Pak Jae-gyong, vice minister of North Korea’s armed forces, led nine other senior officials in meetings with defense officials, the prime minister, the king and others, said Chhum Socheath, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.
This is only the second such high military delegation from North Korea since 1995, he said.
“Importantly, he came to visit Cambodia to strengthen friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries,” he said. “His visit aims to share views and experiences in the national defense sector.”
