Equatorial Guinean President on Relationship with DPRK

Pyongyang, February 20 (KCNA) -- The relations between the two countries are always truthful and Equatorial Guinea regards the DPRK as the closest friend. The cooperation with the DPRK goes well.

Equatorial Guinean President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo said this on February 14 when Kwak Ji Hwan, DPRK ambassador to Equatorial Guinea, paid a farewell call on him.

The president noted that he appreciated the consistent policy of the DPRK strengthening the military capability for self-defence against the hostile forces and would as ever continue to closely develop the relations between the two countries.
