New Stamp Issued
Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- The State Stamp Bureau of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued a new stamp (one sheet) to mark the 100th anniversary of the March First Popular Uprising.

Seen in the sheet are letters "100th Anniversary of March 1 Popular Uprising" and "Juche 8 (1919)-Juche 108 (2019)".

It carries figures of uprisers who bravely fought against the Japanese imperialists' bayonets to retake Korea's sovereignty under the slogans "Long Live Independence of Korea!" and "Japanese and Japanese Army, Leave!" as well as a Korean map marked with main uprising areas.

The nationwide uprising, which was staged at home and abroad on March 1, Juche 8 (1919) to protest against the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule, was a patriotic struggle that dealt a heavy blow to the aggressors and greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese national-liberation struggle.
