Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 10 (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 769 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment. He looked round the room devoted to the history of the unit.
    He highly praised the exploits performed by the unit, noting that the unit honored with the glorious "Kim Il Sung Order" and the titles of Kum Song Lifeguard and O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment is a unit with a long tradition as it has taken the lead in upholding the Songun leadership of the WPK by displaying popular heroism in the defence of the country and in the socialist construction.
    He dropped in at a military lecture room to acquaint himself with the unit's performance of duty and training.
    He advanced important tasks which would serve as guidelines in increasing the unit's combat capability in every way, greatly pleased to learn that the officers and men of the unit are reliably standing guard over the defence line of the country, firmly armed with the Juche-oriented combat methods of the WPK.
    He learned in detail about the political work conducted among its servicepersons, going round the servicepersons' hall and entertainment facilities.
    He said the revolutionary comradeship of the KPA in which the officers and men share life and death is a source of matchless strength which no sophisticated weapons can ever overpower, saying it is very gratifying to see the officers and men of the unit creditably performing their duties united in thinking and purpose under the slogan of "Let the whole army become comrades!"
    He took deep care of the service and living of the servicepersons, looking round an educational room, bedroom, mess hall, washroom, subsidiary food store, barber's and other places.
    Watching photos of servicepersons displayed on the billboard for the honored, he said that they represented well the days of soldiers holding arms in hands. He urged all the servicepersons to glorify the days of their worthwhile military service with feats to become heroes of the 21st century.
    He acquainted himself with how "day for soldiers" is observed.
    Noting that the "day for soldiers" briskly observed at all units is displaying ever-growing vitality, he added this noble trait can be found only in the People's Army in which superiors and inferiors are united close on the basis of kindred feelings.
    He gave servicepersons of the unit an automatic rifle as a gift and had a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.
