Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, inspected KPA unit 131 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment. He first looked round the monument to the on-the-spot guidance of President Kim Il Sung and historic relics.
    After seeing the relics associated with the tireless efforts made by the President, Kim Jong Il said that the immortal leadership exploits performed by the President in strengthening and developing the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK all his life would shine for all ages.
    After acquainting himself in detail with the unit's performance of duty, he walked round the room devoted to the history of the unit, guided by the commander of the unit.
    The shining feats of this unit which won one victory after another by displaying matchless mass heroism in every hard-fought battle are brilliantly recorded in the history of the Fatherland Liberation War, he said.
    After making a round of the drill ground of the unit, he watched soldiers in training.
    He advanced important tasks which would serve as guidelines in further increasing the unit's combat capability, greatly pleased to see all officers and men of the unit trained as a-match-for-a hundred fighters fully capable of undertaking combat duties under any circumstances.
    He noted that the officers and men of the KPA have deeply studied and acquired the WPK's Juche-oriented military thought and theories and steadily intensified the training, thus firmly preparing themselves to wipe out any formidable enemy at a single stroke, adding that the DPRK is an invulnerable iron-wall as this socialist country is firmly guarded by these strong revolutionary armed forces.
    He took deep care of the service and living of the servicepersons, looking round a soldiers' hall, education room, bedroom, mess hall, kitchen, washroom, daily provision store and other places of the unit.
    He spared time to see an art performance given by servicepersons of a company of the unit.
    He gave servicepersons of the unit a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts before having a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Ri Yong Chol, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK and first vice-department director of its Central Committee.
