Saying that the credit for today’s socialist Korea demonstrating its glory as the most dignified and independent, invincible power goes to the immortal victory of July 27 the great wartime generation won for the times and history by devoting all their precious things, he stressed that Korean-style socialism will always win victory when the victorious wartime generation’s steadfast spirit of defending the country and the revolution is invariably carried forward by dint of the invincible might peculiar to our state and people.

It is the sacred mission and duty of our generation to firmly safeguard our ideology and social system, defended by the victorious wartime generation at the cost of blood, and build a people’s paradise, where the happiness of posterity is guaranteed, on this land associated with the noble soul of the forerunners, he said, expressing his full determination to continue to write the history of the powerful country, which will shine as a great journey for succession and prosperity.

Fireworks were set off on the meaningful July day as a reflection of the noble respect to the victors in the great years and the indomitable fighting will of the successors to carry forward the history of war victory of Juche Korea for ever.

The heroic spirit of the victorious wartime generation will be steadily carried forward for all ages and the victory will shine for ever in history as the eternal symbol of Korea under the leadership of the great Comrade Kim Jong Un, the very incarnation of the absolute strength and the ever-victorious banner of our powerful state.
