Present there were Choe Ryong Hae, Jo Yon Jun, and officials of the party and armed forces organs and participants in the conference who observe their birthdays during the conference.

Choe Ryong Hae in a speech said that the loving care repeatedly shown by Marshal Kim Jong Un represents his trust and expectation that the war veterans would glorify their life in the road of the Juche revolution, Songun revolution in the spirit they displayed in the wartime.

He called upon the war veterans to be faithful to the leadership of the Marshal as they did in the past and make positive efforts to hand down the spirit of defending the country displayed in the 1950s as a precious legacy to posterity, just as they remained loyal to the party and the leader.
