Leaders of the minor opposition Democratic Labor Party (DLP) paid a visit to a patriots' cemetery in North Korea during their tour of the communist nation.

The North Korean Central Broadcasting Station reported the delegation, led by DLP chief Kim Hye-kyung, visited the site Wednesday to pay tribute to those buried in the national cemetery in Pyongyang.

The equivalent of the South’s National Cemetery, the site is the final resting place of some five hundred patriots who contributed to establishing North Korea's government and socialist system.
