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

    Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- The joint slogans issued by the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea on the occasion of its 60th birthday are significantly heightening the mettle of the Korean People's Army to win sure victory. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a by-lined article. It goes on: The Korean People's Army will fully embody the idea and spirit reflected in the joint slogans and demonstrate the spirit of the strong revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu to the world.
    The joint slogans set it as the primary task for bolstering the military muscle to turn the whole army into the militant ranks devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution.
    One of the joint slogans is "Let the whole army wage the O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment Movement forcefully to become the first death-defying corps and first human bullets and bombs in defending the headquarters of the revolution!" The joint slogans call for establishing the WPK's commanding system and revolutionary military discipline throughout the army and urge all the servicepersons to become the most ardent followers of the Songun idea, the most reliable defenders and creditable implementers of the idea. This fully represents the intention of the Party to develop the People's Army into the vanguard ranks protecting the headquarters of the revolution in the van. The People's Army is the army of the Party and the leader.
    The supreme mission of the People's Army as a driving force for revolution is to devotedly defend the leader. The worth of its existence would be unthinkable without the headquarters of the revolution.
    The KPA, the devoted protector of the leader, can strikingly demonstrate its mettle to win sure victory only when it implements to the letter the militant tasks laid down in the joint slogans. The joint slogans clearly indicate ways of strengthening the People's Army into invincible revolutionary armed forces and firmly defending the sovereignty of the country and the nation.
    The joint slogans include slogans calling upon all the servicepersons to prepare themselves as a-match-for-a hundred fighters, establish the steel-like military discipline throughout the army and significantly improve the appearance of the army as regular forces and give the fullest play to the mettle of the army so as to mete out severe and merciless punishment to the aggressors and the provokers in hearty response to the WPK's training-first policy. These slogans serve as a militant banner which the army should always hold aloft for increasing its combat capability. The thorough implementation of the joint slogans would help bolster the revolutionary armed forces. The People's Army is fully prepared as invincible armed forces capable of firmly protecting the sovereignty of the country and the nation. Unshakable is the determination of the army to shatter any provocations of the enemies and firmly protect the sovereignty of the country and the happiness of the people. The KPA will thoroughly implement the militant tasks laid down in the joint slogans to powerfully demonstrate the might of the invincible revolutionary armed forces.
