We cordially congratulate you and all the members of your friendship organization on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Korea.

The anti-Japanese military struggle, organized and launched by the Great Leader Kim Il Sung, was a brutal and bloody struggle unseen in the history of World War.

In a brutal situation, without the state rear and the help of the regular army, the Anti-Japanese guerrilla unit won the confrontation with a million soldiers of the Japanese Empire, armed to the teeth, and finally achieved the historic goal of reviving Korea on August 15, 1945.

As we mark this historic anniversary, our people remember the valiant officers and soldiers of the Red Army who shed their blood without hesitation for the liberation of Korea. Their noble international feat will forever remain in the memory of our people.

In the harsh anti-Japanese years, the peoples of the two countries fought shoulder to shoulder with a common enemy, united by a thread of friendship and close-knit, during which the historical roots and traditions of friendship between the two countries were temporarily strengthened and developed.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, who cherishes and invariably maintains the Korean-Russian friendly relations created by the previous leaders, held his first historic meeting with Russian President Putin in Vladivostok in April 2019 and developed strategic friendly Korean-Russian ties.

Further strengthening in accordance with the dictates of the new era of the Korean-Russian friendship, which has deep historical roots and traditions, absolutely corresponds to the aspirations of the peoples of the two countries.

We are confident that friendly relations between our countries will continue to strengthen in the future, as in the past.

Taking this opportunity, we wish you good health and great success in the work of your organization aimed at deepening friendship between the peoples of our two countries.

Respectfully,

Korean-Russian Friendship Society
