A national book and art exhibition opened in the DPRK to celebrate the forthcoming Ninth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea amid the daily-growing political enthusiasm of the Party members and all other people of the country for greeting the Congress significantly.

An opening ceremony took place at the Korea National Art Museum on February 11.

Present there were Ju Chang Il, department director of the WPK Central Committee, officials, journalists and artists of ministries, national agencies and publishing and fine art sectors and working people in Pyongyang.

Sung Jong Gyu, minister of Culture, made an opening address.

He said that the exhibition is a significant political and cultural festival conveying the greatness of the peerlessly great men and the immortal revolutionary exploits performed by them for the Party, the revolution, the country and the people, and showing the history of heroic struggle of the DPRK people who have won one victory after another under the wise leadership of the Party Central Committee.

He declared the exhibition open, saying that it would be a significant occasion in demonstrating the dignity and invincible leadership of the great Party and raising the political awareness and revolutionary enthusiasm of the Party members and all other people of the country to advance towards the goal for a new victory to be set forth by the Ninth Party Congress.

At the end of the ceremony the participants looked round the exhibition hall.

On display at the venue are more than 10 000 kinds of books, including those dealing with the glorious revolutionary history and immortal exploits of the Party, which is ushering in a new era of building up the revolutionary Party of Juche type and powerfully guiding the great cause of building a rich country with a strong army, and those of literature and art and science and technology.

Other books are about the ideology and wise leadership of the great Party Central Committee which is resolutely ushering in a new era of comprehensive rejuvenation through simultaneous and qualitative changes and development of the capital city and local areas and of towns and countryside, and about the noble political ideal, view of development and steadfast spirit of serving the people of the WPK which regards their laughter and happiness as a symbol of the socialist system and a standard of national power assessment. Such books add to the significance of the exhibition.

Also on show are art pieces reflecting the miraculous successes achieved in socialist construction during the term of the Eighth Party Central Committee and the new life of civilization greeted and enjoyed by the people.

The oil painting “Implanting Party’s original ideals and spirit,” the Korean painting “Absolute force for defending peace” and other art works show the undying exploits of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who ushers in a new heyday of strengthening the whole Party with his outstanding ideas and gigantic leadership practice and consolidates the absolute strength for eternal prosperity of the DPRK and the dignity and happiness of its people.

Enjoying art works vividly depicting the people’s happiness and the appearance of the country changing rapidly in the new era of the comprehensive development ushered in by the Party, the participants were further convinced that the Party and the socialist system of Korean style are the best in the world and hardened their will to realize all dreams and ideals in their embrace.

Sci-tech books, sculptures, craftworks and calligraphic works, too, deeply moved the participants as they help working people, youth and students enrich their cultural attainments.
