Quick Glance: North Korea, Belarus strengthen ties

North Korean officials met with a delegation from Belarus to deepen cooperation and criticized the U.S. for attempting to increase 'lawless' sanctions pressure.

During the discussions, Belarus' Deputy Foreign Minister Evgeny Shestakov and his North Korean counterpart Lim Chun Il discussed bilateral cooperation in various sectors and mutual support on the global stage.

Kim Son Gyong, vice minister for International Organizations of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, criticized Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, for her trip to South Korea and Japan, labeling the UN sanctions against the country as 'lawless'.

In contrast, Russia has opposed the annual renewal of the multinational panel of experts that has monitored the implementation of UN sanctions aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programs over the past 15 years.

Quick Glance: New Song from North Korea Honors Kim Jong Un as 'Friendly Father'

North Korea praises leader Kim Jong Un as a 'friendly father' and 'great leader' in a new song, part of a propaganda campaign to boost his image in the reclusive state.

The music video for the song was broadcast on Wednesday on state-controlled Korean Central Television, showcasing North Koreans from various backgrounds enthusiastically singing lines like 'Let’s sing, Kim Jong Un the great leader' and 'Let’s brag about Kim Jong Un, a friendly father.'

Moreover, a live performance of the song with orchestral accompaniment and in the presence of Kim was televised as part of a ceremony to mark the completion of constructing 10,000 new homes.
