KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 4 (KCNA) -- The army-people unity represents the greatest power of the DPRK and serves as the most treasured sword of Korean-style socialism emerging ever-victorious in any storm and stress. When the army and the people go firmly united they can win victory but when they are disunited they are bound to suffer a defeat. This is the precious truth the Korean army and people have learned in the course of building socialism for over half a century. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    The idea of the army-people unity was set out by President Kim Il Sung in the revolutionary practice of hewing out the Korean revolution and has been successfully carried forward and developed in depth in all fields by leader Kim Jong Il. In recent years, in particular, the treasure house of the idea of the army-people unity of the Workers' Party of Korea has been immensely enriched by him.
    The WPK's idea of the army-people unity is a great idea and theory unique, revolutionary and immensely rich in their contents.
    The essence of this idea is the identical idea and fighting trait based on the revolutionary soldier spirit.
    The idea calls on the revolutionary army and people to share the feelings of kinship and the same thought and fighting trait.
    An important aspect of the WPK's idea of the army-people unity is that this unity is based on the revolutionary soldier spirit. The unity of the army and the people should be achieved in the revolutionary soldier spirit which was created by the revolutionary army and is given full play by it. This is a great discovery of weighty significance in the history of the idea of the army-people unity.
    The WPK's idea of the army-people unity is, in the long run, calls for putting forward the army as the greatest pillar and a model of the revolution and achieving the singlehearted unity of the army and the people on its basis.
    The DPRK is a great country in the process of emerging as a great prosperous powerful nation thanks to the might of the army-people unity. Under the leadership of Kim Jong Il the DPRK is demonstrating its might as an ideologically strong nation, a politically strong nation and a military power and accelerating the construction of an economic power with the might of the singlehearted unity of all the servicepersons and people.
