John Suarez in Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter:
Totalitarian communists embrace
President Miguel Diaz-Canel is visiting North Korea in a high level visit with the leaders of the Hermit Kingdom that is being dubbed the North Korea-Cuba Summit.

Both are dynastic dictatorships in which power has been transferred between blood relatives. The Castro dynasty with power being passed between brothers in Cuba, and the Kim dynasty with power being passed down from father to son.
