PYONGYANG, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- The government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) held a grand banquet here on Sunday to mark the 60th anniversary of the entry of the Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) into the Korean front.

Premier Choe Yong Rim of the DPRK's cabinet and Vice Chairman Guo Boxiong of China's Central Military Commission joined CPV veterans and hundreds of others on the occasion on the eve of the Monday anniversary.

The CPV fought alongside Korean army and people during the war, helped the DPRK win liberation, and defended regional and global peace, said Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly.

He conveyed, on behalf of his country, warm greetings to CPV veterans as well as the Chinese army and people, adding that the DPRK is committed to enhancing its traditional friendship with China and passing it from generation to generation.

In his address, Chinese ambassador Liu Hongcai recalled the profound friendship forged on the battlefields between the two peoples and two armies, saying their heroic feats contributed to upholding justice and opposing power politics, and their victory belongs to all peace-loving people across the world.

China will always remember all those who had given their lives for peace and make concerted efforts with the DPRK to promote regional and global peace and development, he added.

Before the banquet, Chinese delegates watched an adapted Chinese opera masterpiece performed by DPRK artists.
