The statement praised President Kim Il Sung for founding and developing the KPA, noting:

The KPA worked a historic miracle by defeating the U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces in the Fatherland Liberation War under the leadership of the great Generalissimo Kim Il Sung, an ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander and outstanding strategist.

The KPA forced the U.S. imperialists to kneel down before the Korean people for the first time in the world.

The KPA has resolutely foiled the U.S. imperialists' moves to start another war under the leadership of the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

The KPA has turned into invincible revolutionary armed forces with powerful war deterrent and thus made it possible to firmly guarantee the sovereignty and dignity of socialist Korea and peace and security of the Korean Peninsula.

The KPA with respected Marshal Kim Jong Un as its supreme commander is the only and one army in the world that poses a real fear to the U.S. imperialists.

Long live the invincible Korean People's Army!

We pay the highest glory to the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and respected Marshal Kim Jong Un!
