Pyongyang, April 18 (KCNA) -- The New York Joint Photo Exhibition--"Windows on North Korea: Photographs from the DPRK" that was opened to celebrate the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung closed on the spot. The AP side of the U.S. selected dozens of photos taken by AP photographers in the DPRK for the past decade according to their themes and made every possible effort in manufacture and display of their collected photos for the successful photo exhibition. Among them were such photos as "A soldier salutes as he marches in a massive military parade held in Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea (Oct. 10, 2010 AP)" and "A dancer, who is participating in an evening gala held in Kim Il Sung Square to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea, weeps with emotion when looking up General Secretary Kim Jong Il on the platform (Oct. 10, 2010 AP)". The exhibition gave wide publicity to the personality of generals in Mt. Paektu, peerlessly prominent leaders and the sun of all people produced by Korea, while truthfully showing the struggle and life of the Korean people for their social development and others. It also vividly dealt with the socialist system in the DPRK which has achieved one victory after another despite the vicious moves of imperialists to stifle it and features of happy people in it. The exhibition offered not only people from all walks of life and Koreans in the U.S. but the international community an opportunity to have fresh understanding about the DPRK which has been boosted under the wise guidance of its great leader and great party as the days go by. The exhibition marked a good occasion as it totally mended the wrong understanding of the people about the DPRK created due to the biased and distorted propaganda of the West against the former and gave the international community broad understanding and deep sympathy to know well about the socialist system. Major media and a lot of internet homepages in different countries gave wide publicity to the whole period of the exhibition. They included New York Times and ABC of the U.S., ITAR-TASS of Russia and Tokyo Broadcasting Service of Japan. |
