Commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence including No Kwang Chol, Jong Kyong Thaek and Ri Yong Gil and commanders of the KPA services and large combined units visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, the sacred temple of Juche, on the occasion of the Day of Army Founding.
The Kumsusan Palace of the Sun where the eternal leaders of our powerful and dignified Party, state and people are preserved in their lifetime appearance was wrapped in the most solemn atmosphere.
A flower basket in the name of the KPA was laid before the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

At the halls where the great leaders lie in state, the participants paid homage to them in humblest reverence.
