And he stressed that this visit of Sergei Shoigu will serve as a meaningful occasion of demonstrating the might of militant unity of the armies and peoples of the two countries which was formed in the historic struggle against the common enemy and further cemented on the common front against the aggressive war moves of the hostile forces.
He expressed full support to the just struggle of the Russian army and people for defending the sovereignty and security of the country, reaffirmed the stand of the Korean army to keep closer cooperation and solidarity in the same trench for the anti-imperialist struggle and sincerely wished them a success in building a powerful Russia under the leadership of President Putin.

He emphasized that the KPA firmly united behind the Supreme Commander has become the most powerful army in the world by constantly strengthening its might while glorifying the heroic feats performed in the Fatherland Liberation War.
He expressed the belief that the Korean people would achieve fresh successes in their struggle for building a powerful country and the will of the Russian Federation to strengthen many-sided cooperation with the DPRK.
