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, visited the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery on Mt Taesong on August 14 on the occasion of the 81st anniversary of national liberation.

Present there were senior Party, government and military officials, including members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK, leading officials of the WPK Central Committee, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, the Cabinet, commissions, ministries and national agencies and commanding officers of the Korean People's Army.

The KPA guard of honour lined up there.

The national anthem of the DPRK was played.

A wreath in the name of Comrade Kim Jong Un was placed at the wreath-laying stand of the cemetery amid the playing of wreath-laying music.

Also laid were wreaths in the name of the WPK Central Committee, the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, the DPRK SPA Standing Committee and the DPRK Cabinet.

Comrade Kim Jong Un, together with all the participants, paid a silent tribute to the memory of the revolutionary martyrs who devoted their precious lives to the sacred struggle for the independence and sovereignty of the country and its prosperity.

There took place a march-past of the KPA guard of honour.

Noting that the revolutionaries of the first generation fought a bloody war of resistance to save the country and the nation and regain the dignity as they burned with the noble sense of duty to bear the responsibility for the destiny of the country and descendants, Comrade Kim Jong Un said that their steadfast independent spirit and undying feats are the ideological and spiritual treasure and precious revolutionary legacy that should be inherited by all generations to come.

The anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters' beautiful ideal of communism, transparent revolutionary faith and indomitable fighting spirit are injecting eternal viability into our people in their struggle to build a prosperous and powerful country the forerunners desired, he said, affirming that the cause of the great Korean people will be ever-victorious as they carry forward the lofty revolutionary spirit and noble view of life generation after generation.
