March 8 International Women’s Day Celebrated Throughout DPRK

The 112th anniversary of March 8 International Women’s Day was celebrated significantly across the country.

After entering the plaza of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, the supreme temple of Juche where President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il lie in state, masses recollected with deep emotion the benevolence of the great leaders who regarded “The people are God” as their lifelong maxim and cultivated the flower garden of attaching importance to and respecting women on this land.

They visited the statues of the great leaders on Mansu Hill in Pyongyang and their beaming images in different parts of the country, presented baskets of flowers, bouquets and flowers and made a deep bow to them.

Marking the day, officials of every province, city, county, industrial establishment and farm congratulated exemplary women workers.

Officials told them about the Workers’ Party of Korea’s great love for and trust in women, congratulated them on their innovative achievements and encouraged them to be true women revolutionaries who perform their honourable duties they assume on behalf of society, collective and families.
