A Pyongyang mass rally took place at May Day Stadium on June 25, the day of struggle against US imperialism. Attending the mass rally were more than 100 000 people, including officials and workers of working people’s organizations, ministries, national agencies, institutions and industrial establishments and youth and students in Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

On hand were members of the diplomatic corps and military attachés corps in the DPRK and overseas Koreans who are staying in Pyongyang.

Amid the full display of the spirit of avengers to settle accounts with the enemies by blood, the participants in the rally watched a video disclosing the thrice-cursed crimes committed by the US imperialist aggressors and the ROK puppets during the Fatherland Liberation War, and the enemies’ ever-escalating moves to stifle the DPRK.

The speakers, in reflection of the retaliatory spirit of all the people, expressed their will to annihilate the US imperialists and the ROK puppets, the unchangeable arch enemies, at any cost, bitterly denouncing the inhumane crimes committed by the sworn enemies.

They said that the frantic moves of the US imperialists and the ROK puppets to ignite a nuclear war, oblivious of the shameful lesson of history in which they suffered the bitter defeat by the DPRK people who were all out for the sacred war to defend their country more than 70 years ago, clearly show the true colours of the aggressors and provocateurs that can never change even after 700 or 7 000 years.

They said that they would always bear in mind the immutable truth that the might of the country and the people should be strong in order to defend their destiny and future, ceaselessly bolster up the strength of the country, the strongest war deterrent with the most just mission, and concentrate on preparing for the all-people resistance, thus clearly showing what miserable and bitter punishment they would mete out to those disturbing the cause of the DPRK.

Saying that hitting the 12 major targets for national economic development just means dealing a sledgehammer blow to the enemy, the speakers expressed their will to make innovations and increase production at their worksites and achieve greater patriotic successes, thus fully demonstrating the dignity and might of the country and always emerge victorious in the confrontation with the imperialists and the US.

It was followed by a public procession.

The demonstrators marched, hardening their unshakable outlook on the arch enemy and steadfast resistance will and chanting the slogans for annihilating the enemy, with strong fighting spirit and self-confidence to win a great victory in the sacred war against the US imperialists and the ROK puppets.
