In the Presidential Palace of Miraflores in Caracas, Venezuela's Jorge Arreaza and his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong Ho signed the agreements in order to strengthen diplomatic ties between the two nations.

In March of this year, North Korea expressed its "support and solidarity" for the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela. In September, Arreaza started a process to deepen diplomatic relations through a meeting with his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong Ho in New York, during the United Nations General Assembly. 

Kim Yong-nam, the President of the Supreme People's Assembly of the People's Republic of Korea, and a delegation of North Korean officials will participate in the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected Mexican president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador this Saturday.

In Cuba, he is scheduled to meet with President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who visited the People's Republic of Korea in early November.
