Last month, Palestinian president wished North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "health and happiness" in honor of Korea's "Liberation Day." In the message he praised the "historic friendship" with North Korea and wished the country's people "stability and prosperity."
Today, the lovefest continued. The official PA news agency Wafa reports:
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas received on Thursday a cable of thanks from the Secretary-General of the Korean Workers' Party, First Commander of the National Defense Committee of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Commander-in-Chief Kim Jong-un, in response to his congratulations on the liberation day.
Last year, Abbas sent Kim Jong Un a basket of flowers for the occasion of "The Day of the Shining Star," Kim Jong Il's birthday.
Also last year Abbas sent flowers for the "Day of the Sun," Kim Il Sung's birthday.
Another floral arrangement was lovingly hand-delivered last September for the DPRK's founding anniversary and yet another flower basket for New Year's Day this year. And last year's Liberation Day was accompanied by yet more flowers.
Yes, in one year Mahmoud Abbas sent Kim Jong Il five separate flower baskets.
Despots really look after each other, don't they?
