00:06 signaling growing ties between the two countries united by opposition to the US.
00:10 The delegation in late April involved discussions on economic and trade issues,
00:14 likely including exchanges of military technology like nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
00:19 North Korea provided nuclear technology assistance to Iran previously,
00:23 and they may now share expertise on drones, satellites, and lessons from nuclear tests.

00:31 and both sides bolster each other diplomatically against the US and allies.
