Pyongyang, July 5 (KCNA) -- Agricultural workers' remembrance event "The Fatherly Leader Is with Us on Cooperative Farm Field Visited by Bumper Harvest" was held in Kumdang-ri, Onchon County Tuesday on the 17th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung.

Chairman of the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Working People Ri Myong Gil referred to the immortal exploits the President performed by projecting the peasants as the master of the land, the master of the country, saying that agriculture is the mainstay of the country, and turning the countryside into modern socialist rural areas good to live in.

Put on the stage at the event were such songs as "There is no such man as the leader", "The General is identical to the leader" and "It's the way guerrillas did, appearing in the east and then in the west."
