Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, December 30 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA) Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, inspected KPA Unit 563. Kim Jong Il learned about the unit's performance of duty before going round the room for the education in the revolutionary history and the room devoted to the unit's history, guided by its commander.
    He highly appreciated the feats performed by the unit, noting that it has displayed popular heroism on the forefront of the revolution for a long period from the period of the fatherland liberation war up to this date, greatly contributing to the defence of the country and the cause of the army building.
    He set forth tasks to be fulfilled to further increase the unit's combat capability, expressing great satisfaction over the fact that all the servicepersons of the unit have made great successes in their energetic endeavors to carry through President Kim Il Sung's on-the-spot instructions.
    He praised the unit for having effectively conducted the revolutionary education and the working class education with the help of diverse and instructive visual aids after successfully building the servicemen's hall as a center for cultural and aesthetic education.
    To be consistent in idea is one of the most important characteristic features of our army, he said, underscoring the need to more energetically conduct political and ideological education among all servicepersons to prepare them as fighters strong in idea and conviction who have unshakable faith and sense of obligation towards the party and the leader.
    Going round military lecture rooms, the inside of the barracks and their compound, he called on the servicepersons of the unit to steadily intensify the training, always keeping themselves in the spirit of standing in the battlefield, in order to build up a match-for-a-hundred combat capability.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.
