Pyongyang, April 20 (KCNA) -- On display at the 17th Kimilsungia Festival in the DPRK were a large number of potted Kimilsungias cultivated by local and world people with their deep reverence for President Kim Il Sung.

Ha Sin Guk, director of the Korea Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Committee, told KCNA that the festival for this year was of weighty significance as it took place with the 50th anniversary of the naming of Kimilsungia as an occasion.

The Indonesian embassy to the DPRK prepared its exhibition stand of Kimilsungias with a photo of President Sukarno presenting Kimilsungia to President Kim Il Sung.

Displayed at an exhibition stand of the General Bureau for Affairs with Diplomatic Corps were more than 50 potted Kimilsungias cultivated by over 30 missions of countries and international organizations.

What caught visitors' eyes in the festival were potted Kimilsungias presented on behalf of the presidents of Laos, Syria and Palestine.

Also taking part in the festival were more than 40 friendship and solidarity organizations and personages of different countries, including the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee for Supporting Peaceful Reunification of Korea and the chairman of the Tunisia-Korea Friendship Association.

Myriads of Kimilsungias exhibited at the festival showed that President Kim Il Sung is always alive in the hearts of the world people.
