Present at the photo session were Choe Ryong Hae, Jang Song Thaek and Kim Won Hong.

Kim Jong Un warmly congratulated them on their proud labor feats performed in the building of the theatre by fully displaying the revolutionary soldier spirit before having a picture taken with them.

He repeatedly appreciated their shining feats, saying that the above-said soldier-builders and designers successfully built many monumental edifices in the past, thus powerfully demonstrating the might of Juche Korea before the whole world and making a great contribution to the prosperity of the country.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that they successfully completed the theatre in a matter of less than a year and creditably implemented the behest of General Secretary Kim Jong Il, noting that he conceived the plan for its construction more than 10 years back and paid special attention to its project in the last period of his life to make sure that it was built as a gift of loyalty to the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung and provided to the people.

He expressed expectation and belief that they would fully display patriotic devotion and popular heroism in the socialist construction in the future, too, and thus make a positive contribution to the cause of building a thriving nation.
