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 Liberation Tower on August 14 on the occasion of the 81st anniversary of national liberation.

Accompanying him were senior officials of the WPK Central Committee and leading officials of the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK.

The Korean People's Army guard of honour lined up before the Liberation Tower.

The national anthems of the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea were played.

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

Written on the ribbon of the wreath were the letters reading "We do not forget the feats of the martyrs of the Soviet army".

Comrade Kim Jong Un paid high tribute to the martyrs of the Soviet army who bravely fought for the liberation struggle of the Korean people for freedom and independence of the country.

He looked round the Liberation Tower with those officials.

Looking back reverentially on the militant feats of the officers and men of the Red Army who dedicated their hot blood to the sacred cause of Korea's liberation, he said that even after the lapse of time and even though one generation may be replaced by another, the DPRK people will always remember the noble soul of the martyrs enshrined in this land and the heroic, self-sacrificing spirit displayed by them.

The excellent history, traditions and ties of blood between the DPRK and Russia now serve as a fundamental cornerstone and inexhaustible driving force of the bilateral relations of friendship and cooperation, he said, affirming that the great friendship and unity between the peoples of the two countries forged with the noble idea and genuine militant friendship would be steadily carried forward and developed generation after generation along with the new era of comprehensive efflorescence.
