It is the greatest exploit those martyrs performed for the country and the revolution that they developed the tradition of the victorious anti-Japanese war into the tradition of victory in the anti-imperialist, anti-US struggle and the tradition of eternal victory of Korea and remarkably amplified the revolutionary spirit of the Paektu into an ideological spirit of all the people, he said, adding that July 27 would shine forever as a symbol of immortality of socialist Korea and a synonym of invincibility when all the generations firmly carry forward the spirit of Mt Paektu and form an integrated whole with one life.
He paid a high tribute to the martyrs, praying for the immortality of the soul and spirit of the martyrs who provided the precious ideological and spiritual heritage for our great state and people and created the immortal revolutionary traditions.
