In preparation for Tito’s visit to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in late August, a group of TV operators from Belgrade were in Pyongyang between 6-11 June to make a documentary.

 

Comrade Kim Il Sung gave an interview to the Yugoslav guests, which will be aired by Belgrade television close to President Tito’s visit to Pyongyang.

 

Following discussions between I. Dinic, First Secretary of the Yugoslav Embassy in Pyongyang, and A. Lazar, the interview with comrade Kim Il Sung – approximately 15 minutes – refers to several general issues regarding the internal situation and reunification of the country, to the current endeavors of the Non-Aligned Movement and the DPRK’s perspective on the matter, and to Korean-Yugoslav bilateral relations.
