SEOUL, Nov. 8 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Thursday thanked the United States for helping the crew of a North Korean cargo ship fight off pirates in waters off Somalia, citing the rescue as a symbol of Washington-Pyongyang cooperation.
The North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, "We feel grateful to the United States for its assistance given to our crewmen. This case serves as a symbol of the DPRK-U.S. cooperation in the struggle against terrorism."
The DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
