During our stay here we witnessed the Korean people achieving successes in the economic construction true to the leadership of Kim Jong Il.

The Korean people are working miracles and innovations in production and construction in sky-high spirit.

We would like to widely introduce the achievements made by the Korean people in socialist construction to the Chinese people.

All of us were excited to watch the grand gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang", winner of Kim Il Sung Prize.

Arirang helped us know well about Korea in the past and today.

Warm and cordial hospitality and the Korean people's friendly feelings made all of us feel ourselves at home.

We wish them greater prosperity under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.
