The President climbed Moran Hill on March 2, Juche 35 (1946) and unrolled a far-reaching plan for turning the mountains of the country badly damaged under the Japanese colonial rule into a thickly wooded paradise of the people.

The DPRK has since marked this day as the Tree-planting Day.

Present at the meeting were Pak Pong Ju, Choe Ryong Hae, Yang Hyong Sop, the chief secretary of the Pyongyang City Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and officials of the working people's organizations, ministries and national institutions.

A report was made by Premier Pak Pong Ju, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK.

He recalled that after kindling the torch of the above-said campaign after the country's liberation the President planted many trees on Munsu Hill and took steps for creating forests in a big way and successfully conserving forests throughout the country.

The President issued an order of the Military Commission related to the afforestation and took special measures unprecedented in the human history of wars including the step for drawing up the regulations for afforestation and forest conservation during the Fatherland Liberation War, the reporter said, and went on:

Leader Kim Jong Il led the work to carry out the President's far-reaching plan and devoted his all to adding shine to the new history of creating thick woodland out of his patriotism.

The desire of the great leaders is coming true under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

The reporter called on everyone to turn out as one in the work for creating forests and conserving them and bring about a fresh turn in the work to turn the country into a thick woodland and greenery this year.
