Day of Victory in War Celebrated
Pyongyang, July 22 (KCNA) -- An oratorical meeting of youth and students took place in front of main sculpture "Victory" at the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Memorial Tower and a national oratorical meeting of officials and members of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea at the Central Hall of Workers on Thursday in celebration of the 57th anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the Fatherland Liberation War.

The performers at the meetings highly lauded the immortal exploits President Kim Il Sung performed by defeating the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being "the strongest" in the world with his unique war methods and leading the Fatherland Liberation War to victory and the leadership art and personality of Kim Jong Il who has defended and glorified the socialist country with his Songun politics.

They referred to the indomitable spirit displayed by the army and people of the DPRK in firmly defending every inch of the country through popular heroism, united close around Kim Il Sung during the war.

They praised Kim Jong Il as the eternal banner of victory in the Korean revolution as he has brought a rosy future of a thriving nation to this land in which the President's desire is in full bloom, while foiling the imperialists' moves to stifle the DPRK with arms of Songun.

On the same day a concert of agricultural workers "We Will Always Glorify the Great Exploits Performed for Winning the Victory in the War" took place in Jangsan-ri, Ryongchon County of North Phyongan Province, on the above-said occasion.

Put on the stage were chorus " July 27, Our Victory Day", male solo and pangchang "For My Only Motherland", mixed chorus "We Have Won", mixed quartet "Let Us Meet at the Front" and other numbers.
