Shining on the peak of victory is the sacred 80-year history of the Workers' Party of Korea which has written the longest history in the world as the socialist ruling party in the militant course of fulfilling the most righteous mission and realizing the far-reaching ideal reliably shouldering the destiny of the country and the people.

The Workers' Party of Korea has led the great cause of building a rich country with a strong army along the road of victories amid the absolute support and trust of the masses of the people while purely and perfectly carrying forward its original ideals and spirit. The 80th founding anniversary of the WPK serves as a monument to glory shining with immortal feats of bringing the prestige and reputation of the great state and the great people to the top of the century with its outstanding revolutionary ideas and leadership.

A military parade was held with splendour at Kim Il Sung Square on October 10 in celebration of the 80th founding anniversary of the WPK.

The foot columns including the ones of all services and arms of the armed forces of the DPRK and columns of ultra-modern hardware solemnly lined up on the avenues adjacent to the square.

The orchestra of the prestigious State Merited Chorus in charge of music for the military parade entered the square.

Decorating the beginning of the military parade, the combined military band performed a ceremony touching the heartstrings of the audience with the appealing and vibrant tune of the revolutionary military songs.

Following the ever-changing rhythmic formation of the members of the band and the distinctive military swordsmanship displayed by servicewomen, drummers and members of the guard of honour showed smart skills with side drums and rifles.

After the ceremony of the military band, the columns of the parade entered the brightly-lit square in a stately manner.

The dignified faces of the paraders and the arms they held fast reflected the spirit of the vanguard ranks of devotedly defending the leader and the most powerful army remaining absolutely loyal and obedient to the ideas and leadership of the Party Central Committee.
