Tehran, 8 May (AKI) - A North Korean delegation travelled to Tehran on Monday night to discuss with Iranian authorities
political and military cooperation. The North Korean delegation is headed by foreign minister Kim Young Il and includes top military officials.
North Korea and the Islamic Republic have been cooperating on the technological development of long and medium-range missile systems and North Korean technicians are suspected of involvement in Iran's nuclear programme, which has sparked an international crisis over fears that Tehran is trying to build atomic weapons.
North Korea's resumption of its nuclear weapons programme has also alarmed its neighbors and much of the rest of the world.
