Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Meets and Has Photo Taken with War Veterans and Persons of Wartime Merits


The respected Comrade 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, met war veterans and persons of wartime merits, who took part in the celebrations of the 73rd anniversary of the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War, and shared warm feelings with them on July 28.

War veterans and persons of wartime merits were filled with boundless emotion and joy as they were honoured to be present at the moment of happiness and glory they had wished even in their dreams after taking part in the splendid celebrations of the Day of Victory in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK.

When the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un appeared, all the participants paid their sincere respects and gratitude to the most brilliant commander and great father who has been glorifying the tradition of July 27, the Day of Victory, and heroic spirit, both of which symbolize the immortal honour of the DPRK, century after century and inspiringly ushering in a new era of building a rich country with a strong army for which all the generations of this land are yearning.

Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly waved back to war veterans and persons of wartime merits, the defenders who wrote the first page in the history of the great power at the cost of their blood and the benefactors who provided the spiritual mainstay of our country which will be powerful forever.

He said that the annual events arranged to splendidly mark July 27, the Day of Victory, together with the wartime generation serve as a significant occasion of instilling into the hearts of the descendants the spirit of self-respect which was fully displayed in the heroic annals and the truth of sure victory which can never be bartered for anything, and those aimed to encourage the struggle for winning new victories.

It is a great pleasure of and encouragement to our Party, state and people that the victorious wartime generation, who demonstrated to the world the heroic position and reputation of our country which should be glorified through generations, are standing before us as the personifier and witness of miraculous victory, he noted.

He had a photo to be recorded forever in the history of succession taken with war veterans and persons of wartime merits, expressing his firm will to reliably carry forward the great and excellent features and the myth of the most righteous power created amidst the gunfire of the hard-fought war in the 1950s as the lineage of the ever-victorious Korean revolution, and thus powerfully hasten the building of the prosperous power that the heroic wartime generation envisioned.

Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly shook hands with the participants who were trying to be the first to meet him with their eyes in tears of emotion and repeatedly hoped that precious war veterans and persons of wartime merits, who play the role of the inexhaustible strength and spiritual mainstay that nobody can perform in their place even today when their hair turned gray, would be full of energy despite their advanced age.
