Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation who is paying a state visit to the DPRK, laid a wreath at the Liberation Tower on June 19.

Kim Jong Un , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, came to the Liberation Tower to greet Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation.

The guard of honor of the Korean People's Army (KPA) lined up at the tower.

The national anthems of the Russian Federation and the DPRK were played.

A wreath in the name of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was laid before the tower amid the playing of the wreath-laying music.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and Comrade Putin paid silent tribute to the memory of the fallen fighters of the Soviet Army who unhesitatingly dedicated their precious lives to the sacred war for Korea's liberation with a noble sense of mission for the cause of internationalism.

There took place a march-past of the guard of honor of the KPA.

The militant comradeship and friendship between the armies and peoples of the two countries that were forged with blood will be immortal and the noble self-sacrificing spirit displayed by the fine sons and daughters of the Russian people and their merits will remain long in the memory of the Korean people along with the Liberation Tower. -0-
