(North) Korean News: "Palestinian Ambassador Hosts Reception"

Now that they have voted in Hamas, perhaps the PA could be inducted into the Axis of Evil?

Palestinian Ambassador to the DPRK Mohammad Shahta Jarab hosted a reception at the embassy on Thursday evening on the occasion of the birthday of leader Kim Jong Il. Addressing the reception, the ambassador stressed that the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries provided by President Yasser Arafat and President Kim Il Sung are growing stronger under the concern of Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Kim Jong Il.

Choe Thae Bok, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, said in a speech that the DPRK would make consistent efforts to boost the friendly relations between the two countries and extend full support and solidarity to the Palestinian people in their just cause to retake their legitimate national rights including the foundation of an independent state with Kuds as its capital.
