At the webpage of Morten Traavik the following is written about Yes, we love this country!:
"Consisting of two separate events, an evening concert programme of Norwegian popular music performed by some of the country’s finest musicians,
and a photographic group exhibition by contemporary Norwegian artists,
the Festival received standing ovations from a than 1000-strong audience in Pyongyang, while generating headlines and heated debates in Parliament home in Norway: both the Norwegian Minister of Culture and Minister of Foreign Affairs had to answer to interpellations from the outraged political opposition regarding the Festival and Traavik’s other North Korea- related art projects."
