Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The women in the DPRK, who are leading a genuine life along with the proud appellation of Korean women, greeted the 116th March 8 International Women's Day.

On this day every year, all the husbands and children do their best to delight their wives and mothers, who regard it as a pleasure to devote to the former, with their sincere mind to care much for the latter.

Flower and souvenir shops in different parts of the country are crowded with people choosing flowers, bouquets, congratulatory cards and souvenirs for women who are cultivating the freshness and beauty of the society and family.

Whenever the DPRK women greet the March 8 International Women's Day amid the blessing of the country just like a beautiful bouquet, they are recollecting the days when they have demonstrated their dignity and pride as genuine women revolutionaries and staunch patriots under the loving care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .

Kim Jong Un attended a grand concert held on the occasion of the March 8 International Women's Day in 2012 and extended warm congratulations and took a measure to successfully build the Breast Tumour Institute of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital into a comprehensive medical service center and scientific research center for women. All the women across the country expressed deep thanks to him for his great loving care.

Among them were women soldiers guarding the posts of national defence, wives of officers of the Korean People's Army, women scientists and women labor innovators and women sportspersons who glorified the country with gold medals.
