Large crowds gathered in Pyongyang on Wednesday morning, expressing determination to implement the country’s key tasks in the new year.
 
The North’s state-run Korean Central TV reported that around 100-thousand North Koreans attended a mass rally at Kim Il Sung Square to show support for the tasks suggested by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in his New Year’s address, which include improving inter-Korean relations.
 
Top North Korean officials were shown attending the rally, including Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly Kim Yong-nam, Workers’ Party Secretary Choe Ryong-hae and Supreme People’s Assembly Chairman Choe Tae-bok.  
 
In a speech, Kim Su-gil, the chief secretary of the Pyongyang City Committee of the Workers’ Party, rallied the people behind the regime’s bid to make 2015 a year of transformation for inter-Korean relations and pave the way for a self-reliant unification.
