Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- Brisk preparations are going on for the 12th Kimjongilia Festival in the DPRK.
Ri Yong Je, a department director of the Korean Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Committee, told KCNA that applications are coming in an endless stream from units and individuals at home and abroad to take part in the festival this year which marks the lapse of 20 years since the flower was born. She went on:
More than 100 units including organs of armed forces, commissions and ministries of the Cabinet, national institutions and Pyongyang city and individuals as well as overseas Korean organizations including Chongryon (General Association of Korean Residents in Japan), overseas Koreans and foreigners will participate in the festival.
The committee is doing its utmost to render a three-dimensional and peculiar appearance to the festival hall to suit its theme: "Long Live General Kim Jong Il, the Sun of the 21st Century!"
The diploma, participation certificate and posters of the festival have already been brought out.
The applicants are putting every ounce of efforts into bringing the flower for the festival into beautiful efflorescence, adjusting the temperature, light and moisture on a scientific basis in the biting cold.
Meanwhile, each province is astir with preparations for the Kimjongilia show this month.
The immortal flower is unfolding fascinating scenes in the Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia greenhouses in all parts of the country with the approach of the festival thanks to the painstaking efforts made by the people to render grandeur to the festival.
