North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has expressed confidence that the country will achieve victory in its anti-imperialist and anti-US struggle. The statement was made on the anniversary of the Korean War armistice, according to the state news agency KCNA on Sunday.
“Our people and state will build a prosperous nation with a strong military and become honourable victors in the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. confrontation,” Kim said during a visit to a war museum.
The Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, came to an end on 27 July 1953 with the signing of an armistice agreement between the U.S. and China. US generals signed the agreement on behalf of United Nations forces supporting South Korea.
North Korea marks this date as “Victory Day”, despite the armistice effectively dividing the Korean Peninsula roughly equally and restoring a military balance. South Korea, however, does not officially observe the day.
Recently, North Korea has expanded its military cooperation with Russia in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Thousands of North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia’s Kursk region, while Pyongyang has also supplied ammunition to Moscow. South Korean officials have indicated that more troops could be sent in July or August.
Kim also visited memorials dedicated to veterans of the 1950-53 war, including the Tower of Friendship, which honours Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers who fought alongside North Korean forces. He met with artillery regiment soldiers to mark the occasion.
