North Korea's state-run news agency says Syria's President Bashar Assad is interested in visiting North Korea and meeting leader Kim Jong Un.
........................
South Korea (AP) North Koreas state-run news agency reported Sunday that Syrias President Bashar Assad is interested in visiting North Korea and meeting leader Kim Jong Un.
The KCNA report said Assad made the comments May 30 while receiving the credentials for the North Korean ambassador.
I am going to visit the DPRK and meet HE Kim Jong Un, Assad was quoted saying, using the acronym for the Norths official name.
There was no indication that such a trip had been planned.
The report also quoted Assad saying he was sure Kim that would achieve the final victory and realize the reunification of Korea without fail.
Syrias government did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.
The report comes as international attention is focused on a summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump scheduled for June 12 in Singapore.

Dictator New World Order, here we go, do you ever get the feeling that this is going to turn into one massive shit show.
Putin is obviously pulling the strings for his new world order. Trump is a puppet having his strings pulled.
This is why you do not give dictators like Kim airtime and put them on your level because he is going to run the propaganda programme full scale. Trump is a complete asshole.

The NK "news" agency didnt leak this little nugget for no reason.
