Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Meets and
Has Photo Taken with War Veterans and Persons of Wartime Merits
Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- 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 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.
