A banquet was organized on December 29th at the Daedong River Diplomatic Hall in North Korea to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. The only ones that received the invite to this prestigious event were the Chosun Workers' Party Central Committee, Comrade Hyung-Joon Kim, Vice-Chairman of the Party Central Committee, Comrade Park Myung-guk (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Comrade Vice-President Park Soon-deok, the Chairman of the Education Committee (also known as the Chosun Kuba Unity Committee), the Embassy of Cuba and his majesty himself, "The Beloved Supreme Leader" Kim Jong-Un. In the Supreme Leader's speech, it was emphasized how the relationship between North Korea and Cuba will continue to be strengthened as both countries celebrate many years of "success".
It is headlines and stories like these in the format of a 2003 MySpace page in which you will find news directly reported from North Korea. Under the tab labeled "Latest news" I found more headlines of Kim Jong-Un's whereabouts where he showed up to more celebrations, competitions, and other events where he gave speeches about how the Communist regime has been and will continue to serve the people well; an emphasis on education was especially prompted in these headlines. All of the headlines were addressing the leader with only the most loving and endearing (and quite excessive) terms--and nothing short of it. If you scroll around to the other tabs discussing politics, economy, culture, etc., there is criticism of other nations' faults, praise of their allies (like Cuba), and good news about North Korea. It's all quite optimistic and sort of cute how North Korea will only show their best side to the rest of the world and to their country when given the power to regulate the platform.
Just something to chew on.
