다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to discuss the development of the relations between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) after the Second World War, focusing on the role of ‘the Cultural Delegation of North Korea’ sent to North Vietnam in the late 1956.
The diplomatic relations between North Korea and North Vietnam started to be established since 1950. Moreover, the collaboration that the two countries began during the Korean War was an enormous step forward in the evolution of their foreign policy cooperation. After the Korean War, coming into close relation with North Vietnam, North Korea sent some delegations to the country in order to form a strategic partnership.
It is under these circumstances that Communist bloc countries decided to strengthen their mutual cooperation in the field of joint interest, especially from 1956. As a result, ‘the Cultural Delegation of North Korea’, that was dispatched to North Vietnam in the late 1956, contributed to place Pyeong Yang ? Ha N?i ties on a firm footing. It is also remarkable that the image of North Vietnam made some impressions on Song Yeong, the leader of the delegation at that time. In some respects, the perception of North Vietnam helped him to keep a critical mind toward the intellectual group of North Korea. Later, this kind of international exchange activities contributed to the harmonious cooperation between the two countries.
