DPRK top leader pays high tribute to Chinese People’s Volunteers martyrs

In a solemn ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) entering the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to fight in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Kim Jong-un, the top leader of the DPRK, paid his respects to the fallen soldiers. The event took place at the Cemetery of the Fallen Soldiers of the CPV in Hoechang county, South Phyongan province, as reported by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Saturday. The ceremony featured a guard of honor from the Korean People’s Army, with the national anthems of both countries played in the background. Kim Jong-un, who serves as the General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) and the President of the State Affairs of the DPRK, laid a flower basket in his name, alongside those from the WPK Central Committee and the DPRK State Affairs Commission. He observed a moment of silence in memory of the CPV martyrs and visited the grave of Mao Anying, where he placed a flower and paid homage. The KCNA highlighted the enduring bond between the DPRK and China, forged through the sacrifices of the CPV soldiers, and emphasized that this friendship would continue to thrive in the shared struggle against imperialism and the pursuit of socialism.
