A North Korean delegation, led by the cabinet minister for international trade and Minister of External Economic Relations Yun Jong Ho, has embarked on a rare public trip to Iran to discuss economic cooperation. This visit is part of North Korea's broader strategy to break its diplomatic isolation by strengthening ties with nations like Russia and Iran. The delegation's visit, reported by Rodong Sinmun and following a recent trip to Moscow earlier this month, is seen as an attempt to expand relations amid ongoing diplomatic challenges. North Korea's official media highlighted the significance of this exchange, given the secretive nature of the country's international relations.
