Heroic Korean People's Victory in War Praised by Foreign Newspapers
Pyongyang, July 25 (KCNA) -- The Korean army and people's matchless self-sacrificing spirit and popular heroism displayed during the Fatherland Liberation War are being given unstinted appreciation by the world community.

The Russian newspaper Vladivostok said as follows:

Many people of the world expressed their concerns when the U.S., which boasted of knowing not a single defeat in its history of wars, invaded the DPRK, which was less than two years old.

But the Korean war proved that the strong military technique of the U.S., a country which boasted of the "myth" of invincibility, was by no means almighty.

The Cambodian newspaper Pracheachon noted as follows:

In order to stifle the DPRK in its bud the U.S. fed to the Korean war over 2 million-strong forces including its army, troops of its 15 satellite countries and the puppet south Korean army as well as modern military equipment.

But the war ended with the U.S. defeat.

The event that brought the first defeat to the U.S. in history startled the world.

The British Branch of the Friendship Association with Korea in its statement said that the Korean people's victory in the war against U.S. imperialism showed that even a small country can surely defeat any formidable enemy if its people firmly unite around their leader and fight by displaying the strong will and fighting spirit.

The chairman of the Finland-Korea Society said that the world progressive people praise the Korean people as the heroic people who defeated the U.S. imperialists for the first time in the world.

The Indian newspaper Indian and World Event emphasized that the U.S. defeat in the Korean war awakened the international community to the truth that no force on earth could overpower the Korean army and people led by President Kim Il Sung, an iron-willed brilliant commander.
