On display at the exhibition will be photos on the DPRK separately prepared by the two agencies under MoU signed between the KCNA and AP in June last year.

Those concerned of the KCNA who selected photos for exhibition together with AP said the exhibition will display photos of the great men of Mt. Paektu who made immortal contributions to the prosperity of the country, its people's happiness, the independent and peaceful reunification of the country and the accomplishment of the cause of global independence.

There will be on display also photos on various fields of the DPRK including politics, economy and culture.

The exhibition will provide an opportunity to compare the different styles of photography between the two news agencies, and will give exhibition goers a visual understanding of the country rare for Western audiences, according to Santiago Lyon, AP's director of photography.

The exhibition will help towards deepening the confidence between the peoples of the DPRK and the U.S. and improving the bilateral relations.
