The statement said:

We extend warm congratulations to the Korean people on the occasion of July 27.

We extend fraternal greetings to the heroic Korean army and people on the day when they won a great victory in the three year-long Fatherland Liberation War against the U.S. imperialists' aggression.

It is an event of worldwide significance that the young DPRK defeated the strong U.S. imperialists and their followers and won a victory.

We are sure that the Korean people will frustrate the aggression moves of the U.S. imperialists and their stooges and firmly defend the sovereignty and independence of the country under the wise leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un in the future, too.

We paid high respect to the heroic Korean people.
