At the photo session, Chairman Kim said, "On the sacred path of development of our republic for dignity protection and national prosperity and strength, the indomitable fighting spirit and remarkable merits of the people who firmly uphold the motherland shine proudly with confidence in the legitimacy and invincibility of our great achievements."

He added, "The patriotic people who put national affairs before family matters and create valuable wealth for the prosperity of the motherland are the greatest asset of the state and the core of national power," and "The Party trusts these people and is advancing a revolutionary era of transformation never seen before."

He further emphasized, "I have the expectation and confidence that the participants of the event will steadfastly uphold and inherit the glorious history and tradition of the great independent power and continue to demonstrate the honor of vanguard fighters in the all-people grand march for national rejuvenation without change."

The photo was taken at the Kumsusan Sun Palace. The news agency mentioned "Comrade Kim Tok-hun, Premier of the Cabinet, and Comrade Pak Jong-chon, Director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea," listing Kim Tok-hun before Pak Jong-chon.

Kim Tok-hun, who was expected to be reprimanded following Kim Jong-un's public criticism, has recently been repeatedly named as a participant in Kim Jong-un's events, confirming his continued presence. Pak Jong-chon had been introduced in North Korean media as "Marshal of the Korean People's Army," but after a photo of his military leadership badge was released on the 8th, he was introduced as "Director" for the first time on this day.
