A grand event will take place in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, in celebration of the 73rd anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War.

Warm congratulations are extended from across the country to the heroes of the legendary era, who are glorifying their honourable life as the first-generation defenders of the country and dear revolutionary seniors held in respect by the Workers' Party of Korea and the people, in the run-up to the Victory Day of July 27.

The war veterans and persons of wartime merit invited to the significant V-Day celebrations were warmly seen off by officials of the Party and power organs, working people, families and relatives in the relevant areas.

They arrived in Pyongyang on July 25 and senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea warmly greeted them at Pyongyang Railway Station and lodging quarters.

Along the streets, citizens, youth and students waved their hands toward the buses carrying them as a token of their respect and congratulations.
