Even though North Korea has promised to dismantle its nuclear program, the country still celebrated the one year anniversary of their first nuclear detonation.
On the one-year anniversary of its first nuclear test, North Korea gushed praise over the country’s success and its leader, saying the test was a “miracle.”
“Our leader Kim Jong-il has brought to us, 70 million people (on the Korean Peninsula), the sky of lasting peace, prosperity and hope,” said the Rodong Shinmun, the newspaper of the ruling North Korean Workers’ Party monitored in Seoul.
