This is a great event which powerfully demonstrated the unshakable will of all service personnel and people to accomplish the cause of the sun generation after generation, holding the commanders of Mt. Paektu in high esteem forever, and translated into a reality the greatest desire of the service personnel of the Korean People's Army.

The statues depict Kim Il Sung with his hands on his waist and his face beaming with a broad smile and smiling Kim Jong Il visualizing a bright future of the new century and wishing Songun Korea eternal prosperity.

An unveiling ceremony took place on Friday.

The statues were unveiled by senior party and army officials.

When they were unveiled, the statues of the great Generalissimos, ever-victorious banner and symbol of victory and glory of Songun Korea, shed their brilliant rays.

That moment the crowds broke into rousing cheers of "hurrah," a gun salute was fired and balloons soared into the sky, beautifully decorating it.

A floral basket bearing the august name of Supreme Commander Marshal Kim Jong Un was laid before the statues.
