Kim Jong Un: Sacred Mission to Create 'Paradise for the People'

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared it the sacred mission of the current generation to build a 'paradise for the people,' following the ideology of previous war victors. This statement was made during the Korean War anniversary, as celebrations, including parades and banquets, marked the occasion throughout the country.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stated that it is the current generation's sacred mission to establish a 'paradise for the people,' based on the ideology defended by past victors. This declaration comes as North Korea commemorated the Korean War anniversary on Saturday, honoring veterans of the 1950-53 conflict.

On Friday, Kim visited memorials, including the Tower of Friendship for Chinese soldiers who fought alongside North Koreans, according to the KCNA state news agency. The 1953 armistice agreement signed by North Korea with the United States and China ended the three-year war.

Despite the armistice setting a border that divided the Korean peninsula, North Korea celebrates July 27 as 'Victory Day.' The day includes festivities such as banquets, parades, and mass dances to honor the occasion, reported KCNA.
