Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) -- Papers here today carry editorials on the occasion of the 71st birthday of the heroic Korean People's Army.
Rodong Sinmun in an editorial titled "Our People's Army Will Demonstrate Its Might As Invincible Revolutionary Army Under the Banner of Songun Policy" says that the foundation of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army by President Kim Il Sung on April 25, Juche 21 (1932) marked a historic event that heralded the birth of the Juche-type revolutionary army which pioneers the cause of independence with arms.
Kim Il Sung with his clairvoyant wisdom gave continuity to building and leading the army and provided a sure guarantee for strengthening our army into an eternal army of the supreme commander, the editorial says, adding: This is the greatest exploits he performed for the future of the country and the Korean revolution and humankind.
The editorial continues:
Our people's army is demonstrating its might as an invincible revolutionary army under supreme commander Kim Jong Il.
As the people's army resembles Kim Jong Il who has military wisdom and strategy, matchless gut and pluck which win the world's admiration, it is carrying on its staunch struggle in the spirit of finally settling accounts with the enemies who encroach upon the dignity of the Korean nation.
Our people's army is the revolutionary armed forces strong enough to defeat any enemy in any modern war.
No one would think about the sovereignty of the country, the people's happiness, the eternal prosperity of Kim Il Sung's nation and the victorious advance and accomplishment of the socialist cause without the Songun idea and leadership of Kim Jong Il.
Our people's army fighting under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, holding him in high esteem, will demonstrate its might as an invincible army in the future, too, and reliably defend the sovereignty of the country, the destiny of the people and the socialist cause with arms.
Minju Joson in an editorial stresses that victory and glory are in store for the KPA which has demonstrated its might as a strong revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu as it has Kim Jong Il as its supreme commander.
