The visitors made New Year greetings to the great leaders looking up to their eternal images at the plaza of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun.

Working people, service personnel, youth and schoolchildren laid flower baskets, bouquets and flowers at the statues of the President and the Chairman on Mansu Hill in Pyongyang and other parts of the country and mosaics depicting the peerlessly great men.

Children and pupils of primary schools across the country received gifts associated with the loving care of the Workers' Party of Korea on the occasion of the New Year.

Colourful performances were given in Pyongyang and local areas to rev up the holiday atmosphere.

Working people, students and children enjoyed themselves at the people's cultural recreation grounds including the Central Zoo, the Natural History Museum and the Munsu Water Park.

Public catering establishments across the country including Okryu Restaurant in Pyongyang and Sinhung Restaurant in Hamhung were crowded with visitors.

The pleasant smell of roast chestnuts and sweet potatoes which were served at outdoor stalls in different parts of the capital city added to the festive mood.

New Year greeting cards were served at the greeting card and souvenir shops in Pyongyang and greeting cards and mobile phone messages exchanged between parents and their children, teachers and their disciples, relatives and friends across the country.

The streets of Pyongyang and other parts of the country were decorated with majestic and colourful illuminations.
