The abrupt establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Cuba, with which Cuba is the 193rd country with which South Korea has diplomatic relations. Currently, Syria is the only member state of the United Nations that does not have diplomatic relations with South Korea.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Cuba really "flashed" the DPRK, which Kim Jong-un never thought of in any case, so when the DPRK learned that Cuba and the DPRK had established diplomatic relations, he announced that the Japanese prime minister might visit the DPRK, which was regarded as revenge against the ROK.
Relations between North Korea and Cuba have always been good. Cuba's supreme leader, Díaz-Canel, received the highest courtesy during his annual visit to the DPRK in 2018. As the only two "anti-American countries" in the world, Cuba and North Korea should be comrades-in-arms in the same camp. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the victory of the Cuban Revolution. Cuba's new ambassador to the DPRK also presented his credentials.
However, at the beginning of the new year, half a month after the arrival of Cuba's new ambassador to the DPRK, the ROK and Cuba announced the establishment of diplomatic relations. It really came as a surprise to the international community, and it left North Korea unprepared. As a matter of fact, the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Cuba is nothing more than a matter of course, and it is no more normal; in the words of the South Korean media, this is called "finally achieving a positive result."
However, it has to be said that the process of consultation on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the ROK and Cuba has always been kept secret, and the Cuban side did not even inform the DPRK side before the establishment of diplomatic relations. As two independent sovereign states, it is normal to establish diplomatic relations, and everything is possible in the face of each other's national interests. Cuba has waited until now to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea, which is actually a great face-saving experience for North Korea
The establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Cuba will have little impact on the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and Cuba is not yet qualified to come to the fore on the issue of the situation on the peninsula. For Cuba, the establishment of diplomatic relations with South Korea can improve its current economic capacity to a certain extent and obtain economic assistance from South Korea. #妙笔生花创作挑战##微头条激励计划##国际时事#
