One of them took place at the Kumsusan Sun Palace, where the remains of the late general secretary of the Workers’ Party (WPK) and president of the country and those of his successor, Kim Jong Il, are laid to rest.

In front of the statues of the heroes, senior leaders of the WPK, officials, workers, fighters of the People’s Army, young people, children and citizens in general placed baskets and bouquets of flowers, a scene that was replicated in other localities of the Asian nation.

In this and other cities there were also artistic performances on the occasion of the Day of the Sun, so called in remembrance of the date of birth of the eminent leader.

One of the most massive activities was carried out by young people, who performed in the capital’s Kim Il Sung Square a lucid cultural gala that culminated with the launching of fireworks.

In the previous days, photographic and film exhibitions, sporting events and political and cultural events were also organized to commemorate the significant anniversary.

Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the WPK, has received congratulatory messages and messages of sympathy from many leaders of other countries.
