SHANGHAI, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- A senior government official from the Democratic People"s Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Monday the Shanghai World Expo would help promote friendly cooperation among countries and regions, and among international organizations at a ceremony marking the DPRK Pavilion Day.
<##IMAGE##> Speaking after a brief flag-raising ceremony, Hwang Hak Won, the DPRK minister of urban management, said the Expo has become a platform for all people to demonstrate their achievements and experiences in science and technology, social and economic development, and culture.
He said the DPRK was also showing its modern-day achievements to visitors from around the world through the pavilion.
The DPRK has brought a miniature landscape of its capital Pyongyang, dubbed "Paradise for People," to the Expo park as staff members are busy selling commemorative stamps, with some featuring China-DPRK friendship, to tourists.
The pavilion is also using the chance to promote their domestically-made products such as face-whitening cosmetics and medicinal toothpaste to visitors.
The Shanghai pavilion is the DPRK"s first at the World Expo.
Hwang Hak Won said the DPRK would work with China in the future to promote friendship between the two countries to a higher level.
Guo Yunchong, the Chinese Vice Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, had met the visiting DPRK officials, and said the DPRK Pavilion has demonstrated the history, culture, architecture, and local traditions of the DPRK to visitors from around the world.
Guo said he believed the World Expo would strengthen bilateral relations, and cement political trust between the two countries.
To date, 4.37 million people had visited the DPRK pavilion, averaging 40,000 visitors per day.

The counters selling stamps inside the DPRK Pavilion are the most popular as visitors crowd in front trying to select their favorite sets of stamps.
Some sets are especially in demand, such as the DPRK-China friendship series which show various generations of Chinese leaders, including Mao Zedong, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao, shaking hands with DPRK leaders.
A couple from Israel had just bought a set of stamps. Atalia, the wife, said they loved collecting stamps from around the world and were quite interested in stamps showing various landscapes from the DPRK.
Lee Chang Ge, a 42-year-old man from the Republic of Korea (ROK), bought an ethnic Korean gown in the pavilion.
The man, speaking in his native Korean, asked a female staff member from the DPRK about the price of a red gown, and the man then seemed to even have bargained with the woman. The man finally chose a bluish gown, at the less expensive price of 1,800 yuan (about 265 U.S. dollars) and struck the deal with the smiling DPRK saleswoman, who was dressed in a golden-colored gown.
The man, in broken English, said he would bring this gown back home as a gift for his wife .
He said the gown would cost about 5,000 yuan in the ROK, and he thought this gown was a good value for what he spent.
He told Xinhua there were no barriers in communicating with the DPRK staff. He said people from the DPRK and the ROK were of the same blood, and he hoped there might come a day when reunification of the Korean Peninsula would become a reality.
