Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, visited the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery in Sinmi-ri on May 19 to mark the first anniversary of the demise of Hyon Chol Hae.
He was accompanied by Kang Sun Nam, minister of National Defence of the DPRK.
Kim Jong Un laid a flower at the grave of Hyon Chol Hae, recollecting the sincere and resolute appearance and praiseworthy life of the revolutionary soldier who remained boundlessly loyal to the cause of the Party with his genuinely revolutionary traits and noble humanity and devoted himself to the country, revolution and people without any slight affectation and selfishness.
He paid a silent tribute to the memory of Hyon, a son of the great DPRK and distinguished elder loyalist produced by the Juche revolution.
Looking at Hyon’s picture, Kim Jong Un had a conversation for a long time in his inmost heart with the beloved soldier he had never forgotten when the country was overcoming the worst difficulties and ushering in a new heyday in bolstering up the national defence capabilities as Hyon had always given him strength and courage while accompanying him.
He said that the feats of the veteran revolutionary who devoted his whole life to the revolutionary cause of Juche would be immortal along with the history of the WPK and the country and that Hyon Chol Hae would always be in the hearts of the Korean people including the service personnel of the Korean People's Army.
In front of the memorial monument of the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery, he paid high tribute to the martyrs, praying that their valuable life recorded in the history of the country would be everlasting on the eminence of respect and honour generation after generation.
