North Korea and Venezuela should stand together US pressure and blackmail, North Korean parliament Vice-President Yang Hyong Sop recommended, as quoted by AP.
Both nations "are subject to US high pressure and blackmail," Tang said, according to a note on the web page of the Venezuelan Vice-President's Office.
The Korean lawmaker met Thursday with Venezuelan Vice-President José Vicente Rangel.
"The (President George W.) Bush administration is plotting a lot to suppress our Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela," Yang said, according to the note.
"Closer relations and friendship of both peoples to face in this way foes' confabulations is badly needed and most important."
The meeting involved exchange of opinions "in order to develop further the relations of both peoples in different areas; also we exchanged information on the situation of both countries," the Asian lawmaker declared.
Yang briefed on opening of diplomatic missions in Venezuela and North Korea, in addition to potential energy-related cooperation.
Here's an article from Frontpage Mag:
Venezuela and North Korea Connect
"With North Korea playing dangerous games in America’s back yard it is time that we begin to deal with an emerging rogue regime. In what looks suspiciously like an extension of the Axis of Evil into the Western Hemisphere, confirmed reports note that Venezuela dictator wannabe Hugo Chavez is cozying up to North Korean representatives. Chavez, long time admirer of Fidel Castro is rapidly dragging his country into the throes of a modern Marxist dictatorship. Even more the tragedy in that Venezuela had long been a budding democracy in South America. Chavez, elected in a contentious time, deliberately dismantled democratic institutions, cemented his authority, and then began systematically to eliminate the opposition."
Er...exactly what pressure has anyone put on Venezuela for anything? Bueller?
Yeah, be like us and have Venezuela look like North Korea in under 20 years.... beautiful...liberals are the parasites of the world.
