Pyongyang, August 16 (KCNA) -- 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 Liberation Tower on August 15 on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by senior officials of the Central Committee of the WPK, leading officials of the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK and commanders of the services of the Korean People's Army.

The guard of honour of the KPA lined up in front of the Liberation Tower.

The national anthems of the Russian Federation and the DPRK were played.

A wreath in the name of Kim Jong Un was laid before the tower amid the playing of the wreath-laying music.

Written on the ribbon of the wreath were letters reading "We do not forget the exploits of the fallen martyrs of the Soviet Army".

Kim Jong Un paid a high tribute to the fallen martyrs of the Soviet Army who fought bravely in the sacred war for Korea's liberation.

There was a march-past of the guard of honour of the KPA.

Kim Jong Un looked round the Liberation Tower with the participants.

The sacred history of national liberation of the Korean people is associated with the matchless heroism and undying feats performed by the service personnel of the Soviet Army in the anti-Japanese revolutionary war against the common enemy, he said, adding that the militant friendship and blood ties forged between the armies and peoples of the two countries amid the fierce flames of war are a true example of international justice and solidarity.

He expressed belief that the invincible DPRK-Russia friendship consolidated century after century by inheriting the noble spirit of the forerunners of the two countries would grow stronger in the future. -0-
