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.
