Kim Il Sung Revered as Liberator of Nation
Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA)-August 15 is the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean nation from Japan's colonial rule by President Kim Il Sung.

As the country was liberated by him, the destiny of the nation could be saved from the fall and Korea, which had suffered an eclipse on the world map, is now well known as the homeland of Juche, a powerful socialist state.
Therefore, the Korean people have deeply revered the President through generations as liberator and great father of the nation.
