The Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea gave dinner parties for the bereaved families of martyrs on the evening of April 26 on the occasion of the inauguration of the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at the Overseas Military Operations.

Present there were senior officials of the Party and the government including Pak Thae Song, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and premier of the DPRK Cabinet, and commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence together with the bereaved families of the Korean People’s Army martyrs in the special military operations.

Speeches were made at the parties.

The speakers offered deep condolences to the bereaved families of the KPA martyrs in the special military operations who dedicated their precious and noble lives to defending the inviolable dignity and honour of their state with courage.

They noted that Comrade Kim Jong Un has made great painstaking efforts to glorify forever the lofty soul and valuable feats of the martyrs who unhesitatingly dedicated their youth and precious lives to the mightiness and rosy future of the country and to ease the pains of their bereaved families.

They said that the life of the heroes came to shine long as the stars of the country under the loving care of the great father who kept all the martyrs, who created a true example of the heroic spirit of the present era, in his heart rather than burying them in the ground and made indefatigable efforts to build an immortal memorial museum and erect an unheard-of wall of immortality with stars reflecting the expression of eyes and looks of the martyrs who had been pure and brave till their last moments.

The martyrs will always be together in our struggle and life, teaching the truth of genuine life and invincibility, the speakers said, adding that the everlasting military feats they performed at the cost of their blood and lives, shouting hurrah for the leader, the country and Pyongyang, and the loyalty and noble self-sacrificing spirit they fully displayed under the combat gunfire, would serve as an eternal nutrient for our people, service personnel and posterity to redouble their patriotic enthusiasm and indomitable mental power.

They hoped that all the bereaved families of the martyrs would lead a happy and worthwhile life under the special care of the Party and the government and the respect of all the people across the country.

All the bereaved families made a firm determination to devote themselves to the prosperity of their beloved country so earnestly desired by the martyrs, cherishing deep in mind the warm love and benevolence of Comrade Kim Jong Un who glorifies the life and feats of the martyrs at the peak of perpetuity.
