April 05:
April 05 is the day when in 2009, DPR Korea successfully lunched “KWANGGONGSONG-2”, Second artificial satellite on the Earth- a great step towards achieving all round development of the nation.
April 06:
President KIM IL SUNG proposed 10-points program for the great national unity of the whole Korean nation on April 06, 1993. For President KIM IL SUNG, the principle of "great national unity" embodied in the program transcended differences in ideas, ideologies, and systems of both sides.
The Ten Points:
1. A unified state, independent, peaceful, and neutral, should be found through the great unity of the whole nation.
2. Unity should be based on patriotism and the spirit of national independence.
3. Unity should be achieved on the principle of promoting coexistence, coprosperity, and common interests and subordinating everything to the cause of national reunification.
4. All manner of political disputes that foment division and confrontation between the fellow countrymen should be stopped and unity achieved.
5. They should dispel fears of invasion from the South and from the North and suspicions of attempts to prevail over communism or achieve communization all together and believe in and unite with each other.
6. They should consider democracy to be valuable and join hands on the road to the fatherland\\'s reunification, without rejecting each other for difference in doctrine and principles.
7. They should protect the material and spiritual wealth of individuals and organizations and encourage it to be used favorable for the promotion of great national unity.
8. All the fellow countrymen should understand, trust, and be united with one another through contacts, travels, and dialogue.
9. All the fellow countrymen in the North and South and overseas should strengthen solidarity with one another on the way to the fatherland\\'s reunification.
10. Those who have contributed to great national unity and the cause of the fatherland\\'s reunification should be highly esteemed.
It would be great national unity, if followed by the south, to protect the peninsula from the foreign interferences, to save national dignity and sovereignty and to live together in permanent peace.

April 15 was a golden day, in 1912, when a new baby was born on the earth with bright flash light in a simple but patriotic family of Mangyongdae, who later on became President KIM IL SUNG of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea after completing three great revolutions in his own life—liberating Korea from Japanese cruel military occupation (August 15, 1945); declaring Korea as Democratic People’s Republic (September 09,1948);and defeating the so called super power of the world in the 3 years long battle with US-led 16 countries (July 27,1953). Salute to such a peerlessly great man on the earth!
Let us celebrate with great enthusiasm the 111st Birth Anniversary of President KIM IL SUNG as a great event of mankind. Birth anniversary of the Great President is of enormous significance to all the progressive people of the whole world because of his unparalleled contribution to the cause of global independence.
