Not everyone can be a Hero of Labour of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea.
But Fidel also got the Hammer and Sickle Gold Medal, AND the Order of the National Flag (First Class!)
quote: El título de Héroe del Trabajo de la República Popular Democrática de Corea con la Medalla de Oro (martillo y hoz) y la Orden de la Bandera Nacional Primera Clase, fueron otorgados por el Presidium de la Asamblea Popular Suprema del hermano país al Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro.

It's a nice honour for Fidel. He misses out on too many friendly dictator of the month awards. Always a bridesmaid never a bride, as they say.
