The 113th March 8 International Women's Day was significantly celebrated in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

At the plaza of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, the supreme temple of Juche where the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are laid in state, people recalled with deep emotion the favour of the great leaders who provided the precious tradition of the Juche-oriented women's movement and put forward the women as proud masters of the revolution.

Lots of people laid floral baskets, bouquets and flowers before the bronze statues and smiling portraits of the great leaders on Mansu Hill and in different other places of the country and paid tribute to them.

Officials of the provinces, cities, counties, institutions, industrial establishments and farms met and congratulated exemplary working women including scientists, teachers and labour innovators of the units concerned.

A concert of the National Symphony Orchestra was given at the Moranbong Theatre in Pyongyang, and performances and sports and amusement games took place in the capital city and the provinces.

Special services were rendered to women at public catering establishments across the country.

In the families, women were presented with souvenirs and beautiful flowers associated with warm sincerity of their husbands and children.
