SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea's No. 2 leader met with a Syrian
delegation in Pyongyang on Saturday, the North's media reported.

Kim Yong Nam, head of the North's legislature and head of state, had "a
friendly talk" with the Syrian delegation, led by Saaeed Eleia Dawood,
director of the organizational department of Syria's Baath Arab Socialist
Party, the North's Korean Central News Agency reported.

The Syrian official expressed satisfaction that the "friendly and
cooperative ties" between the two countries "are growing stronger under
the deep care" of Syria's President Bashar Al-Assad and North Korean
leader Kim Jong Il, KCNA said.

On Friday, the Syrian official held talks with Choe Tae Bok, a senior
official of the North's ruling Workers' Party.

The delegation's trip to Pyongyang came amid suspicions that the North
may be providing nuclear assistance to Syria.

Both countries deny the charge.
