Sojourn of British VIPs in Pyongyang
KCNA
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- Caroline Anne Cox, vice-president of the House of Lords of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and her party visited Mangyongdae, the birthplace of President Kim Il Sung.
They looked round relics with keen interest, being briefed on the President's glorious revolutionary history and revolutionary family.
The guests had a photograph taken in front of his old home in Mangyongdae.
At the end of their visit, David Patrik Alton, member of the House of Lords, said that the President, born to a simple family, embarked upon the road of revolution at an early age.
Noting that his family members participated in the revolutionary struggle, devoting their all to the independence of the country, he said that their feats would shine long.
He added that he was deeply impressed to see the President's old home in Mangyongdae preserved to its original state to be greatly instrumental in the education of the rising generation. The guests also visited Kim Il Sung University, Pyongyang Metro and other places.
