Officials of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK) met at the Revolutionary Battle Site in Mt Taesong on August 13 to hear impressions of the reminiscences of anti-Japanese guerrillas on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of Korea’s liberation.

Prior to the meeting, the participants made a study tour of the revolutionary battle site.

At the meeting the performers explained the reminiscences of anti-Japanese fighters contained in Volume 20 of "Reminiscences of Anti-Japanese Guerrillas".

They highly praised the undying exploits of President Kim Il Sung who achieved the great historic cause of Korea’s liberation by setting forth the unique idea of national independence, the independence by the Korean nation’s own efforts, and leading the arduous anti-Japanese war to brilliant victory.

They noted that the spirit and mettle of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army members, further enhanced through a meeting of officers and men, military sports games, artistic performances and other events organized by the President after advancing the plan for the final offensive operation in the decisive period of Korea’s liberation, were fully displayed at the battle fields.

The performers called for cherishing the pure and flawless loyalty and indomitable fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese forerunners as precious ideological and spiritual asset and making devoted efforts to bring earlier the comprehensive development and rejuvenation of Korean-style socialism.

Present there were Chairman Pak In Chol and other officials of the GFTUK Central Committee and trade union officials from ministries, national agencies and the capital city of Pyongyang.
