As the anniversary is drawing near, I feel more profound reverence for President Kim Il Sung who led the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to a shining victory and achieved the historic cause of Korea's liberation, Hwang said, and continued:

After embarking on the road of the revolution in his early years with a lofty intention to liberate the country usurped by the Japanese imperialists, the President founded the Korean People's Revolutionary Army.

History records lots of famous generals but it has never known such a great man as the President who led to victory the hard-fought anti-Japanese war and made a triumphant return home as a young general.

As they were led by him, the Korean people could accomplish the historic cause of Korea's liberation and greet a new era of prosperity as we witness today.

It was only after the liberation of the country that the Koreans in Japan who had roamed about in the alien land could live with national dignity and pride.

All the Koreans highly praise Kim Il Sung as a peerless great man and the sun of the nation.

The feats performed by Kim Il Sung, father of socialist Korea and nation, in achieving the liberation of Korea, will always shine along with the history of the nation.

His revolutionary cause is now being successfully carried to completion thanks to Marshal Kim Jong Un.

We will make a positive contribution to the development of Chongryon, prosperity of the country and the sacred cause of its reunification.
