Alejandro Cao de Benós de Les y Pérez (born 1974) is a Spanish Special Delegate of North Korea's Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries and president of the Korean Friendship Association (KFA). He has been an advocate of North Korea since 1990. His activities are occasionally mentioned in bulletins from the Korean Central News Agency. His Korean name, Cho Son-il ("Korea is One"), is officially recognized by North Korea. He has lived in Tarragona and Barcelona (Spain), working as an IT consultant. A single, unnamed detractor called him a "'perfect example of the useful idiot.'"〔 ==Official activities in North Korea== Cao founded the Korean Friendship Association in 2000, setting up an officially approved North Korea website.〔(The Official Webpage of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) )〕 It includes a media section and a web-shop where badges, North Korean music and other items can be bought online. In 2002, Cao became the first foreigner allowed to work on behalf of the North Korean authorities in an official capacity, thus fulfilling a dream he had had since he was a teenager. This required that North Korean law had to be changed. He was given a North Korean passport. His official assignment is as a "special representative" of the Foreign Ministry. Cao travels regularly to Pyongyang, organizing international delegations for the foreign press (constantly under supervision), cultural exchanges and business meetings, which entail working with North Korean officials in many ministries in both cultural and diplomatic affairs. He has written numerous articles on matters relating to the political situation in the Korean Peninsula, as well as giving interviews for television, newspapers, radio and Internet press. As one of the few foreigners to devoutly follow the North Korean party line, he continues to be greatly involved with the Korean Friendship Association as well as with North Korean international relations. Cao is prominently featured in the documentary ''Friends of Kim''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alejandro Cao de Benós de Les y Pérez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
