Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- A ceremony of releasing picture album of the great Paektu mountains and photo exhibition took place at the Pyongyang Centre for Cultural Exchange with Foreign Countries on Tuesday under the sponsorship of the DPRK-Oceania Friendship Association.

Present there were Kim Jin Bom, vice-chairman of the Korean Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries who is chairman of the DPRK-Oceania Friendship Association, Chairman Pak Kyong Il and members of the DPRK-New Zealand Friendship Association and Pyongyangites.

Present there were Roser Shepherd, director of Hike Korea, and members of the New Zealand Motorcyclists' Group to Tour Mt. Paektu and Mt. Halla led by Gareth Morgan.

Speeches were made at the ceremony.

Speakers said that the picture album has been released to prove that Korea is one and the same territory stretching out from Mt. Paektu, the ancestral mountain.

No one can cut off the great Paektu mountains, they added.

They hoped that Korea would be reunified into one as early as possible.

Then, the participants looked round the picture album and photos on display.
