Kim Jong Il Enjoys Performance Given by State Merited Chorus
Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, enjoyed a performance given by the State Merited Chorus on the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the Fatherland Liberation War.

Warmly acknowledging the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, he heartily congratulated them on the war victory day.

Its repertoire included male chorus "Song Devoted to Marshal Kim Il Sung", orchestral music and male chorus "Pass Mungyong", male chorus "Song of a Truck Driver", female solo and male chorus "Nobody Knows", male solo and male chorus "For My Only Motherland", collection of songs "We Are Going in for the Care of the Leader", "Where Are You, Dear General" and "O, What Type of Man Is Party Member" from the revolutionary opera "A Story of a Nurse" and male chorus "Road of Victory".

The performers sang high praises of the shining feats the army and people of the DPRK performed by beating back the U.S.-led imperialist allied forces for the first time in history and honorably defending the freedom and independence of the country under the wise leadership of President Kim Il Sung. They successfully represented the faith and pledge of all the servicepersons to turn the cheers of war victory into fireworks of victory for national reunification under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.

They, at the same time, powerfully demonstrated the fighting spirit of the strong revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu to mercilessly wipe out the U.S. imperialists and the confrontation maniacs keen to ignite a new war with the might of the Songun arms and defend the socialist country as firm as a rock if they dare intrude even an inch of the sky, land and seas of the inviolable country.

Waving to the enthusiastically cheering performers and audience, Kim Jong Il congratulated the performers on their successful performance.

Greatly satisfied with the splendid performance given by the chorus, he highly praised the performers for their successful performance and thanked them.

Among the audience were senior officials of party and armed forces organs Kim Jong Un, Choe Yong Rim, Ri Yong Ho, Kim Yong Chun, Kim Ki Nam, Choe Thae Bok, Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong Gak, Choe Ryong Hae, Pak To Chun, Kim Yong Il, Kim Yang Gon, Thae Jong Su, Kim Phyong Hae, Mun Kyong Dok, Ju Kyu Chang, U Tong Chuk, Kim Chang Sop and Ri Myong Su, Members of the Central Military Commission of the WPK Kim Kyong Ok, Kim Myong Guk, Kim Won Hong, Jong Myong Do, Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Yong Chol and Yun Jong Rin and Department Director of the NDC Hyon Chol Hae.
