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

    Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- A number of grand events held in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea in an unprecedented elated political atmosphere clearly proved the unbounded reverence and loyalty of the servicepersons and people of the DPRK to President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and the great might of the unbreakable single-minded unity of the entire Party and army and all the people around the headquarters of the revolution, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. The grand festival in October was a grand political festival as it strikingly manifested the unshakable faith and will of the servicepersons and people to uphold the President's idea and cause with loyalty, the article says, and goes on:
    The national meeting, the grand gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang", the military parade, the evening gala and torchlight procession held in the presence of Kim Jong Il to mark the 60th anniversary of the WPK fully represented the glorious history of the WPK and the Korean revolution associated with the august name of Kim Il Sung. They also reflected the WPK's unshakable faith and will to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche that started in the forests of Mt. Paektu under the uplifted banner of the red flag associated with the whole life of the President.
    The single-minded unity of the Korean people has reached the present highest level because they acclaimed the President as their leader and the proud feature and might of their unity would be unthinkable without this great national fortune and glory.
    The October festival was also a manifestation of the single-minded unity of the servicepersons and people of the DPRK around the headquarters of the revolution.
    Labor achievements contributed to the anniversary such as the Taean Friendship Glass Factory, the Paekma-Cholsan Waterway, the Dam of the Nyongwon Power Station, the Kumjingang Hungbong Youth Power Station and proud achievements made on all fronts for building a great prosperous powerful nation fully reflected their unshakable faith that they would certainly emerge victorious as long as they are under the leadership of Kim Jong Il and the revolutionary stamina that they are ready to go through thick and thin and make anything regarded impossible possible true to his intention and determination.
    The grand festival also strikingly demonstrated the spirit of Songun Korea advancing thanks to the might of strong revolutionary armed forces that have inherited the tradition of Mt. Paektu.
    The DPRK could celebrate the anniversary as the most auspicious festival in the world in terms of its scope and content and its political and ideological value thanks to this most mighty Songun revolutionary unity and this provided an opportunity of demonstrating the perfect organization and strong discipline and unity and cohesion of our revolutionary ranks, the article concludes.
