Excerpt
Excerpt: An inter-Korean grand festival was held in Pyongyang between August 15 and 16 to commemorate the 56th anniversary of the liberation of Korea from Japanese colonial rule from 1912 to 1945. Over 4,000 delegates from the North, South and overseas attended the festival, named ?The 2001 Grand Festival for National Reunification.? This was the first time that Koreans in the North, South and overseas met for the celebration of a liberation anniversary, though in the past some South Korean reunification movement groups had sent their delegates to North Korea in violation of South Korea?s ?National Security Law.?
