Iranian Paper Marks Korea's Liberation Day
Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The Iranian paper Iran News on August 14 carried an article on the 71st anniversary of Korea's liberation.

The article said:

August 15 this year marks the 71st anniversary of Korea's liberation from the military occupation by the Japanese imperialists.

President Kim Il Sung led the long anti-Japanese armed struggle to victory and achieved the historic cause of Korea's liberation.

The Japanese imperialists made desperate efforts to exterminate the Korean nation during their colonial rule over Korea.

After the liberation the Korean people could enjoy an independent and dignified life as proud master of the state and society.

Then a peculiar socialist system centered on the popular masses and invincible socialist state undeterred by any storm could be built in Korea.

The reality in the DPRK, which is making a fresh leap and innovation in building a socialist power, makes people deeply recall the historic meaning of Korea's liberation that brought to its people a turning point in carving out their destiny and achieving prosperity of the country.
