An official North Korean calendar for next year does not designate a holiday to celebrate the country’s largest-ever nuclear missile test, excluding “Rocket Industry Day” on Nov. 29 for a second straight year after it initially appeared on calendars in 2021.
The new calendar published by a government-run postal agency and seen by NK News also continues the practice of not identifying Kim Jong Un’s birthday suspected to be on Jan. 8 or designating it as a holiday, while confirming that Tree-planting Day will now be held at an earlier date in March.
