The theme of the festival is "We Miss the Fatherly Leader's Broad Smile." Tens of thousands of Kimilsungia pots are on show at the festival.

The flower festival is attended by many institutions, including military and government bodies and foreign diplomatic missions in the DPRK, individuals and friendship and solidarity organizations in other countries.

Seen in the center of the venue are a large portrait of President Kim Il Sung with a broad smile on his face and a miniature of his native home surrounded by Kimilsungia flowers.

The exhibits reflect deep reverence of local and foreign people for the President.

The annual festival continues till April 20.
