From the North Korean Central News Agency, Kim Jong Il’s message to Fidel Castro:

Shocked to learn that you underwent an operation for unexpected sudden illness, I express profound sympathy and consolation to you. I wholeheartedly hope that you will recover your health as early as possible so that you may continue successfully fulfilling the heavy responsibility entrusted to you by the Cuban revolution and people.

Very sweet, no?

A report at the U.S. Dept. of State’s website sheds a little light on the subject:

The Cuban Government maintains friendly ties with Iran and North Korea. Cuban Foreign Minister Perez Roque visited Iran on November 13. Earlier in the year, Iran offered Cuba a 20 million euro line of credit, ostensibly for investment in biotechnology. The Cuba-Iran Joint Commission met in Havana in January. Cuba and North Korea held military talks at the general staff level in May in Pyongyang. The North Korean trade minister visited Havana in November and signed a protocol for cooperation in the areas of science and trade.

And while we’re at it, the next story down at the North Korean Central News Agency is about Japan’s nefarious plans for “continental military reinvasion,” beginning with an attack on North Korea. Kim Jong Il’s press agency has some firm words for the Japanese about that:

The Japanese reactionaries had better behave with discretion, bearing in mind that reinvasion of Korea is as foolish an act as jumping into fire with faggot on one’s back.

You can’t make this stuff up. (Nor would you be advised to.)

…

Addendum: Alright, that last thing is juvenile of me, but what do you expect from someone who reads the North Korean Central News Agency for laughs?
