Present there were Chairwoman Choe Un Pok and other officials of the Association and members of the group.

At the talks war veterans made speeches.

They said they were very pleased to meet Korean people with whom they fought in the same trench against the U.S. imperialist invaders, while touring the places of the DPRK associated with the blood shed by their comrades-in-arms.

They continued:

We were amazed to see Pyongyang turned into a magnificent and modern city though not a single brick remained unbroken during the war. We saw for ourselves Korean people leading a happy life, benefited from compulsory education and free healthcare.

No force on earth can match the Korean people, united close behind their leader true to the behests of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, they said, adding the DPRK has a rosy and bright future as they hold in high esteem the dear respected Kim Jong Un as their supreme leader and Marshal of the DPRK.

Noting that peace today was achieved at the cost of lives of so many comrades-in-arms, he declared should invaders ignite another war against the DPRK, they would send their descendants to the Korean front to fully support the Korean people in their just struggle.

Chairwoman Choe Un Pok in her speech hoped the lecturers group would register big success in its work for DPRK-Sino friendship and the education of young people.
