    Pyongyang, February 15 (KCNA) -- A meeting of workers and trade union members took place at the Central Workers' Hall on Feb. 14 to celebrate the birthday of leader Kim Jong Il. Ryom Sun Gil, chairman of the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea, made a report at the meeting.
    The reporter and speakers said that Kim Jong Il has wisely led the revolutionary cause of Juche for decades, performing epoch-making feats.
    Kim Jong Il has developed in depth the Songun idea and line, founded and consistently embodied by President Kim Il Sung, as required by the era and the developing revolution, they noted.
    A poem devoted to his birthday "Song of Best Wishes to February" was recited at the meeting.
    A performance was given by the workers' art squad of the GFTUK Central Committee on the same day.
    That day a meeting of members of the Korean Democratic Women's Union for celebrating February 16 was held at the Women's Hall.
    Pak Sun Hui, chairwoman of the Central Committee of the union, in her speech said that the course of the glorious and brilliant revolutionary activities of Kim Jong Il represents a heroic epical history for the genius of revolution and construction, a peerlessly brilliant commander who has glorified the history of modern Korea as the history of great Kim Il Sung's Korea under the banner of the ever-victorious Juche idea, the Songun idea.
    An art performance was given at the meeting. Its performers included women who have distinguished themselves in upholding the Songun revolutionary leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, members of the women's union who have devoted their ardent patriotism to the building of a rich and powerful country, women who have done a lot of good things for society and the collective, the mothers who brought up their sons and daughters as strong pillars of the country and officials of women's union organizations at all levels.
