KCNA

07/30/2003

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, inspected KPA unit 675 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th regiment. He highly appreciated the unit's feats, saying that it is a unit that has made a great contribution to the defence of the country and the building of a rich and strong country.

He acquainted himself with the performance of the unit's duty before going round a hall for technological lectures.

Noting with great satisfaction that the unit is keeping the synthesized and systematized uptodate scientific materials of various kinds necessary for the performance of its duty on display and conducting an effective education of its servicepersons with the help of visual aids so that all of them may be well versed in modern military technology, he put forward highly important tasks which would serve as guidelines in further increasing the combat power of the unit.

Then, he paid deep attention to the living of the soldiers, going round an education room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a washroom, a barber's shop, an outdoor resting place, a fish farm and other places of the unit.

No details escaped him to show profound loving care for the soldiers, ranging from means for entertainment and conditions of their bedrooms to sideline job organization and the supply of luxury goods.

He stressed the need for all the commanding officers to always pay deep attention to the supply service for the soldiers so as to provide them with the best living conditions.

The unit is a model in all aspects including the unit management, ideological education and the efforts to increase the combat power, he said. The anti-Japanese guerrilla army-style of fighting and its way of living now being highly displayed by the KPA is a proud appearance of the army upholding the Songun leadership of the party in the van.

He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
