Memorial Tower of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea 抗美援朝纪念塔

Wang Huning accompanied Kim Jong Un in laying floral baskets at the Monument to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Kim visited the memorial museum and presented historical photographs as a gift.

That morning, Wang Huning welcomed Kim Jong Un at the square of the Memorial Hall of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and accompanied him in presenting a floral basket at the memorial tower for the war. The national anthems of China and North Korea were played. To the heartfelt strains of the “Floral Tribute,” honor guards slowly carried the floral basket onto the platform. The ribbon on the basket bore the words in Korean, “Forever remember the martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteers.” Kim Jong Un ascended the platform, paused in front of the floral basket and carefully straightened the ribbon. Everyone present observed a moment of silence for the martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteers, in a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Kim Jong Un entered the memorial hall and viewed precious artifacts and historical materials showing the volunteer soldiers’ heroic fighting and China and North Korea fighting side by side. Kim Jong Un presented the memorial hall with historical photographs bearing his handwritten inscription.
