Present there were Pak Kyong Il, vice-chairman of the DPRK-Vietnam Friendship Association, officials concerned, Pham Viet Hung, Vietnam ambassador to the DPRK, and his embassy staff members.

They planted fruit trees and talked about boosting cooperation between the two countries.

The ambassador said he was well aware of the struggle of the Korean people all out in the forest restoration campaign true to the New Year address of Marshal Kim Jong Un. He hoped that the tree-planting would contribute to turning the DPRK into thick woodland, greenery and orchards.
