All the Korean people significantly greeted the founding anniversary of the glorious DPRK on the general advance for dynamically opening a broad avenue to the comprehensive national prosperity under the blueprint of great changes unfolded by the ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea. They paid the highest tribute and eternal glory to President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, the founder and builders of dignified socialist Korea.

Kim Tok Hun, Choe Ryong Hae and Ri Pyong Chol, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, and other senior Party and government officials, deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly and leading officials of armed forces organs visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, the sacred temple of Juche, on September 8 on the occasion of the 76th birthday of the DPRK.

A flower basket in the name of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was laid at the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Placed at the statues were flower baskets in the name of the WPK Central Committee, the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK and the Cabinet of the DPRK.

The participants paid high tribute to the great leaders at their statues.

At the halls of immortality where Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are preserved in their lifetime appearance, the participants paid homage to the great leaders in humble reverence for them, who devoted their whole lives to accomplishing the sacred cause of prosperity of the country and wellbeing of the people, performing great immortal exploits and laying a solid foundation for the invincible socialist power independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence.
