Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, inspected KPA unit No. 952 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment. He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.
    He first looked round the monument to the on-the-spot guidance of President Kim Il Sung and historic relics on the height.
    Recollecting with deep emotion the unit's history of development, he said the immortal leadership exploits Kim Il Sung performed for the strengthening and development of the revolutionary armed forces all his life would shine for all ages.
    He dropped in at a firing position and a technical lecture room to learn about the unit's performance of duty and the combat preparedness of its servicepersons.
    He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in further increasing the unit's combat capability, greatly pleased to learn that all the officers and servicepersons are performing their guard duties in a responsible manner and have fully prepared themselves as a-match-for-hundred fighters.
    He took warm care of the service and living of the servicepersons, going round an education room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a washroom, a nursery and other places of the unit.
    He acquainted himself with the management of the unit, walking in the compound of the barracks which looks like a park. Enjoying a bird's-eye view of the unit, he was pleased to see the barracks built so splendidly as to arouse the admiration of every visitor and appreciated the efforts made by the servicepersons to do so.
    This unit is exemplary in all aspects including the tending of forests and management of the unit, he noted, adding that this stirring reality is a precious fruition of the servicepersons' spirit of unconditionally carrying through the Party's policies and their noble patriotism.
    He gave the servicepersons of the unit an automatic rifle as a gift and had a photo session with them.
    He then moved to a place associated with revolutionary activities of Kim Il Sung in the area where the unit is stationed. Looking round the historic buildings standing just as they were more than 50 years ago and the monument to the on-the-spot guidance of the President, he said the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK have covered a proud path of victory and glory and have grown to be matchless armed forces of the revolution thanks to the wise leadership of the President. He called on everyone to always remember the President who devoted all his wisdom and energies to the cause of building the army.
    He underscored the need to preserve and manage well the revolutionary sites, an eternal treasure of the Party, and conduct brisk education through them as they are important places for equipping the servicepersons and working people with the revolutionary idea. He set forth tasks to do so.
