KCNA

Laid in the venue of the service were wreaths sent by different organizations and institutions such as the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, the Kumgangsan International Tourist General Company, the National Economic Cooperation Federation and the National Reconciliation Council.
    Present there were officials concerned of the north side and employees of Hyundai Asan of south Korea staying at Mt. Kumgang resort.
    Memorial addresses were made by vice-chairman of the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee Song Ho Gyong, president of the Kumgangsan International Tourist General Company Pang Jong Sam and vice-chairman of the National Reconciliation Council Ho Hyok Phil.

Kumgang and the construction of the Kaesong Industrial Zone and the cooperation in other fields for the common interests and prosperity of the nation will always remain recorded in our nation's history of reunification movement, they stressed.
