Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) --Diverse events were held in different countries from May 26 to June 2 to mark the 47th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's start of his work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the 11th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.

A message to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar in the Czech Republic.
