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 Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery in Sinmi-ri on May 18 on the occasion of the third anniversary of the demise of Hyon Chol Hae who was a prominent military and political activist of our state.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un laid a flower before his grave, recalling the memory of the revolutionary comrade-in-arms who devoted himself to the glorious struggle for accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche with genuine communist traits, noble human feeling, wide-ranging knowledge and unyielding execution abilities.

He paid silent tribute to the memory of Hyon Chol Hae, a true son of the DPRK and a model of steadfast revolutionaries and patriots.

Recalling him, Kim Jong Un said:

“Still vivid in my memory is Comrade Hyon Chol Hae, who was always with the great General Kim Jong Il. He was the shadow of the General. He remains in all our memories as a model military and political official, highly principled and outstanding in political abilities and organizational skills, and as a paragon of true human, always unceremonious and easy, unaffected, steadfast and upright. He will live forever in our minds, always reminding us of the General’s era and encouraging us in our sacred struggle for a great victory.”

He prayed the noble spirit and distinguished feats of Hyon Chol Hae, who remained steadfastly loyal to the Party and the revolution all his life, would shine forever on the highest platform of honour and dignity.

Before the monument to martyrs at the cemetery he paid high tribute to the martyrs who devoted their precious lives to the eternal prosperity and future of the country.
