l; Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il issued his order No. 00172 on promoting the military ranks of KPA commanding officers on the occasion of the Day of the Sun.
The order dated April 14 says:
l;
Today all the servicepersons and people are significantly commemorating the Day of the Sun, recalling with deep emotion the glorious revolutionary life and undying feats of President Kim Il Sung, the eternal sun of Juche.
l;
The President fathered the immortal Juche idea in his early years, ushering in a new historic era of shaping the popular masses' destiny, and wisely led the struggle for sovereignty, independence and socialism to build a socialist power of Juche in this land.
The revolutionary armed forces, which he created and led to victory, have grown to be an invincible army capable of defeating any imperialist aggressors at one stroke and demonstrated their might as an engine of the revolution standing in the van of the drive to defend the country and build a great prosperous powerful nation.
l;
Expressing the firm belief that the KPA commanding officers who have been trained under the care of the WPK and the leader will as ever remain true to the WPK's leadership, reliably defend the sovereignty of the country and the revolutionary cause of Juche with arms and creditably discharge their mission and duty as a standard-bearer of the Songun revolution, the supreme commander issued the order on raising their military ranks on the occasion of the Day of the Sun.
l;
According to the order, Yom Sung Il, Choe Jung Hwa and Jon Kwan Sik were promoted to lieut. generals and 31 officers including Jo Song Hwan to major generals.
