North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun said the country would achieve victory in the “anti-imperialist, anti-US” battle as the country marked the anniversary of the South Korean War’s Armistice, state media reported on Sunday.
Kim has assured us that our nation and its people will certainly achieve a major cause for building a rich country with strong military forces and becoming an honorable winner in anti-imperialist anti-AUS showdowns,” KCNA State News Agency noted about visiting the war museum the day before.
North Korea signed an armistice agreement between the United States and China on July 27, 1953, ending the three-year war battle. The US general has signed an agreement representing the UN forces that supported South Korea.
North Korea summons “Victory Day” on July 27th, but after the two countries traveled back and forth during the war, it depicts borders that divide the Korean Peninsula by region almost equally.
South Korea does not mark the day with major events.
However, in a speech on July 27th, it was read out at a commemorative ceremony honoring Korean War veterans in Washington.
“Through efforts in a variety of fields, including politics, economics, security and culture, we will further strengthen and strive to further strengthen our noble alliances between Korea and the United States to firmly protect freedom and peace on the Korean Peninsula,” Lee said.
North Korea is currently fighting alongside Russia in the war in Ukraine. Thousands of North Korean troops have been deployed in Russia’s Kursk region, and Pyongyang supplies Russia with munitions. South Korea said it could deploy more troops in July or August.
Kim also visited a memorial honoring veterans of the war between 1950 and 53, reminiscing on the Chinese People’s Liberation Army soldiers who fought against North Korea, and the Chinese Liberation Army soldiers who gathered soldiers in the artillery regiment to celebrate the day.
