   Pyongyang, June 3 (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 DPRK, appreciated a performance given by the art squad of KPA Large Combined Unit 324. The art squad staged numbers of diverse genres including chorus "Song of the Korean People's Army", agitation on the basis of revolutionary anecdote "The General and the Blue Sky", poem recital and serial songs "My Motherland", story telling "Let's See First", mixed chorus "Colors of Steel-Strong Units Are the Life and Soul of the Army", drum and homophony "It's Good to Live in the Company", chorus "We Will Defend the Headquarters of Revolution with Our Lives".
    The performers successfully represented the invincible might of the KPA trained to be a matchless army under the loving care of the great brilliant commander and the unshakable faith and will of its servicepersons to devotedly protect the headquarters of the revolution and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche with arms under the guidance of the Party.
    The performance deeply impressed the audience as it had a strong appeal and was replete with the spirit of the times.
    He highly praised the members of the art squad for their successful performance, expressing great satisfaction over the fact that they gave a splendid performance with a high ideological and artistic value by truthfully representing the firm determination of the army of Songun Korea to wipe out the enemy.
    He appreciated their revolutionary work style, noting that they are instilling the conviction of sure victory, optimism and will and courage to annihilate the enemy into servicepersons through their militant art activities, sharing weal and woe with soldiers as befitting artistes of the revolutionary army.
    Noting that performing art is one of the effective means for educating servicepersons, he set forth important tasks which all art squads should consider as guidelines in intensifying their art activities as required by the era of Songun.
    Among the audience were Ri Yong Chol, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK and first vice department director of the C.C., WPK, Hwang Pyong So, vice department director of the C.C., WPK, and general officers of the KPA.
