Present there were officials of the External Relations Bureau of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, the DPRK ambassador to Cuba and staff members of his embassy.

The head of the External Relations Bureau of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces said:

I am very pleased to significantly celebrate the anniversary of the war victory together with Korean comrades.

I warmly congratulate Korean comrades on the anniversary of the war victory.

The heroic Korean people defeated the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being "the strongest" in the world in the 3-year war under the outstanding leadership of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.

We know well the indomitable will and heroic spirit displayed by the Korean people in the great Fatherland Liberation War.

Today's friendship meeting clearly shows the fraternal friendship and solidarity between Cuba and the DPRK.

The friendship and solidarity developing day by day under the wise leadership of Comrade Raul Castro Ruz and Comrade Kim Jong Un are true and solid.

We will make positive efforts to develop the invincible militant friendship and solidarity and cooperation with the army and people of the DPRK onto a higher stage.
