Wherever they went in the city, they were accorded warm hospitality by citizens.

Staying at Pyongyang Koryo Hotel, they enjoyed themselves at amusement centers, including the People's Open-air Ice Rink and the Skate Park, and took special dishes prepared exclusively for them at well-known restaurants.

The Pyongyang Folklore Park hosted a welcoming ceremony in honor of them on the Full Moon Day (Feb. 24).

Seized with excitement at such warm hospitality, they said in unison:

"We are very grateful to the dear respected Kim Jong Un for having honored us with the title of DPRK Hero.

The recent success in nuclear test was attributable to the foresight and wise guidance of President Kim Il Sung, general secretary Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un.

We will go ahead with the test so as not to tolerate any attempt to infringe upon the nation's sovereignty."
