Meanwhile, numerous other Korean delegates, including the DPRK Ambassador to Indonesia, were awarded the Mahaputra Star Class 2.

The State Palace event was energized by creative performances of Indonesian dances such as the Fan Dance and the chorus of the song “Maju Tak Gentar” (move forward without fear). When Indonesian performers sung General Kim Il Sung’s song in good Korean, the attendees cheered.

Meanwhile, Kim Il Sung stressed the significance of Indonesia’s role in strengthening Asian-African solidarity.

Marshal Kim Il Sung’s entrance at the Bandung airport, like at Kemayoran, was met with considerable excitement. Prime Minister Kim Il Sung also attended the inauguration of the Third Provisional People’s Consultative Congress (MPRS). President Sukarno expressed his respect for Korea, which has succeeded in developing an independent economy, during this ceremony.

After the trial, state guests were invited to tour the city of Bandung. Along the way, people stood cheering the state guests. At the city hall, as soon as Kim Il Sung got out of the car, a scout came forward to attach a tie, badge, and scout hat to Prime Minister Kim Il Sung. In the evening, a typical West Javanese art performance was held.

The return voyage to Jakarta was made by land the next day. They intend to spend the night in the Bogor Palace.
