Com. Dedo by message no 135 of 27 of this month informs:

 

From the Palestinian Emb[assy]

 

The object of Arafat’s visit to the DPRK (25–26 of this month) was to deepen the traditional cooperation in the new circumstances (following the proclamation of the Palestinian state), particularly in the political and military sphere (mainly the training of several hundred Palestinian airborne troops by the local special forces, supplies of North Korean arms, handguns mostly).

 

The identity or similarity of views on international affairs that are of interest to both parties, including the situation in China („effective combating of US-inspired counter-revolution”). In this context characteristic was Kim Il Sung disapproval of “all so-called peace initiatives by Washington, including the Middle East issue.” A. construed it as an allusion to his Islamabad speech.
