Workers and Members of GFTUK Mark Day of Korea's Liberation
Pyongyang, August 12 (KCNA) -- A meeting of workers and members of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK) took place at the Central Hall of Workers Wednesday on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation accomplished by President Kim Il Sung.

Choe Su Dong, vice-chairman of the C.C., the GFTUK, and other speakers said that the anti-Japanese armed struggle led by the President was a national liberation war of new form that defeated the Japanese imperialist aggressors and achieved the country's independence by relying on the revolutionary armed forces under the banner of independence.

The President put forward the original Songun idea and line and combined an organized armed struggle with all-people resistance, thereby achieving a final victory in the anti-Japanese war and ushering in a new era of the national liberation struggle in colonies, they noted, adding:

The President's history of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle was the one of ardent love and patriotic devotion to the people rare to be found in any great man in the world and in any country.

The feats he performed by liberating the country and building an independent and rich and powerful socialist country were glorified thanks to leader Kim Jong Il.

The DPRK liberated and glorified by the President and Kim Jong Il is making a leap forward and shedding its rays as a highly civilized socialist nation under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

Among those present at the meeting were Ri Il Hwan, department director of the C.C. the Workers' Party of Korea, officials of the GFTUK, workers and its members.
