Pyongyang, August 16 (KCNA) -- 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, visited the Liberation Tower on August 15, the 79th anniversary of Korea's liberation.
Accompanying him were senior officials of the Central Committee of the WPK and Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the DPRK, and commanding officers of armed forces organs.
The guard of honor of the Korean People's Army lined up in front of the tower.
The national anthems of the Russian Federation and the DPRK were played.
A wreath in the name of Kim Jong Un was laid before the tower amid the playing of wreath-laying music.
Written on the ribbon of the wreath were letters reading "We do not forget the exploits of the fallen fighters of the Soviet Army".
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un paid high tribute to the fallen fighters, recollecting with reverence the feats performed by the officers and men of the Soviet Army in realizing the historic sacred cause of Korea's liberation.
There was a march-past of the KPA guard of honor.
Kim Jong Un said that the great history of Korea's liberation, which brought about a radical turn in carving out the destiny and rejuvenation of the Korean revolution and the Korean nation, is clearly associated with the matchless self-sacrificing spirit and immortal exploits displayed by the excellent sons and daughters of the Russian people and the heroic images of the officers and men of the Red Army are cherished as a genuine example of true internationalism in the minds of the Korean people.
He said that the militant friendship and solidarity forged between the service personnel and peoples of the two countries in the sacred war against the common enemy fully demonstrated their invincibility and eternal vitality in the protracted course of struggle to foil the imperialists' arbitrary practices and hegemony.
He said that the good history, tradition and ties of kinship spanning more than 80 years serve as the basic cornerstone to develop the DPRK-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation into the most solid comradely relations and comprehensive strategic partnership and as the inexhaustible strength propelling the building of powerful states in the two countries and the creation of a multi-polarized new world.
He expressed belief that the great friendship and solidarity between the peoples of the DPRK and Russia, who built the forward-looking ties between the states and are struggling shoulder to shoulder for the common purpose, would be creditably carried forward and developed along with the noble soul of the forerunners of the two countries and with the new era of overall heyday. -0-
