The message said:

60 years have passed since the Korean people won a victory in the Fatherland Liberation War.

The Korean people together with all foreign friends are celebrating this significant day.

The Korean People's Revolutionary Army founded under the leadership of Kim Il Sung, the outstanding leader of the Korean people, dealt a deadly blow at the enemy and achieved the liberation of the country.

In the course of the struggle for liberation the militant friendship between the peoples of our two countries deepened.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation remains faithful to this friendship.

We, together with you, honor the memory of those who dedicated their lives to the independence of their country and congratulate the war veterans who witness the present reality provided by their militant victory.

After defeating the enemy, your country started a creative work for the rehabilitation of the national economy of the country.

Great changes took place in scientific, educational, cultural, industrial, agricultural and all other fields in a short span of time.

The Korean People's Army, a guarantee for the independence of the DPRK, has grown strong despite constant provocations of the outside hostile forces.

On this significant day, we once again remember the fighters who fought for the independence of your country.

We are convinced that the present younger generation of the DPRK will carry forward the sacred cause of their grandfathers and fathers.

The message wished Kim Jong Un, the Workers' Party of Korea and all the Korean people fresh success in socialist construction.
