Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, August 4 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, inspected a company of KPA Unit 228. He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.
    He was saluted on the spot by the commanding officers of the unit and its company. He learned about the company's performance of duty before watching its servicepersons in training.
    He expressed satisfaction over the fact that the commanding officers and soldiers of the company are fully capable of undertaking any combat duty as a match-for-a hundred fighters.
    He stressed the need to persistently keep up the work to thoroughly implement the WPK's policy of training.
    Going round an educational room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a kitchen, a non-staple food store, a wash-cum-bath house, barns, a power station and other places of the company, he took warm care of the service and living of the soldiers.
    He highly appreciated the achievements made by the company soldiers. He was greatly satisfied with the excellent living conditions provided by the company, seeing the barns swarming with domestic animals, fields under various kinds of vegetables and the barracks where electricity is in wide use.
    The KPA soldiers are, indeed, pace-setters in self-reliance as they create everything from nothing, he said, adding that the appearance of the whole army is changing day by day and it has become a powerful engine for building a rich and powerful country, dynamically advancing the era and the revolution, as this staunch revolutionary spirit of the army is being given fuller play.
    He called for concentrating sustained efforts on firmly building up the company, noting that it is very important to bolster the company, a main combat unit of the KPA. He gave a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle to the servicepersons of the company as gifts and had a photo session with them.
