North Korean parade marks rocket ‘victory’
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | December 14, 2012 21:24When North Korea’s Kim Jong-un commemorates a year of his rule next week, he will be able to declare he has fulfilled the country’s long-held dream of becoming a “space powerhouse”.
In a mass parade in Pyongyang on Friday, tens of thousands of soldiers dressed in olive green and standing in serried ranks, as well as bareheaded civilians, celebrated this week’s successful rocket launch, hailing Kim’s “victory”.
“Under the great leadership of Kim Jong-un, we are carrying out a sacred task towards our last victory so as to build a strong and prosperous nation,” Kim Ki-nam, a politburo member from the Workers’ party of Korea, told the applauding and cheering crowds that turned out in freezing temperatures.
