| DPRK Observes World Food Day |
| 2004-10-17 |
| Must've been a short ceremony.. Various events have taken place in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to mark the World Food Day, October 16. On this occasion the DPRK government has conducted activities to make all the people aware of the importance of food in human life and encourage them to pay deep concern to solving the food problem. That's good they've got a program to stress that. Too bad they don't have any food to illustrate the point.. In an interview with KCNA Jong Sun Won, secretary general of the DPRK National Committee of FAO, said: Various lecture meetings and seminars on the theme of "Biodiversity for Food Security" put forth by FAO this year have taken place in the country's major rice and potato producers, universities of agriculture and other agriculture-related institutions. Mass media, too, will observe the day. Mmmmmmmmmmmm...anything... Such FAO cooperation projects as the Paekma-Cholsan Waterway project, conservation farms, sea culture modernization projects and food security projects have been visited by working people of various social strata and students. The material and technical aid of the FAO, World Food Program, International Fund for Agricultural Development, etc. has helped solve the food problem in the country. They've got a food problem there in the Workers Pardise? Do tell... |

| #6 My understanding was that in order to increase the number of working days they were going to merge it with Arbor Day. |
