Pjongyang (pte060/05.05.2003/17:40) - In addition to the first webshop selling North Korean products http://www.pte.at/pte.mc?pte=030224007 , surfers can now visit the first North Korean online library with some texts translated into English.
The site http://www.korea-dpr.com/library/entrance.htm was developed by the Korean Friendship Association (KFA), which is supported by the North Korean government and registered in Spain and China. The KFA has several hundred members around the world. Its aim is to positively influence the world image of the People's Republic of Korea. Its members create exhibitions, write letters, organise trips, meet to watch videos of North Korean public events or work on the website.
The new e-library has works by the "great leader" Kim Il Sung and his son, "beloved leader" Kim Jong Il. The site also offers a 218-page description of Kim Jong Suk, who is hailed as the "mother of Korea" and an "anti-Japanese heroine". In general, the works presented on the page offer a glimpse into the ideological fundaments of the People's Republic of Korea in the 20th century, in which the military takes a central role.
