He highly praised the unit for having performed feats in the past, saying that the unit grown to be matchless combat ranks under the wise guidance of President Kim Il Sung has displayed the heroic stamina of the KPA in the defence of the country and socialist construction.
After learning how the political work is conducted among servicepersons, he expressed the satisfaction over the fact that the unit has conducted revolutionary education and class education in a deep-going manner by use of various educational materials and trained them to be revolutionary fighters with indomitable faith and will by establishing the habit of reading, in particular.
A dynamic struggle to establish the habit of study and the habit of reading in the whole army has brought about a fresh change in educating servicepersons, he said, stressing the need to publish and disseminate more books including reminiscences of Kim Il Sung, "Reminiscences of Anti-Japanese Guerrillas" and revolutionary books to help all the servicepersons read them.
Then, he looked round supply service facilities.
He highly praised the commanding officers and men of the unit, expressing satisfaction over the fact that they have intensified the military and political training and strictly followed the way the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army managed its unit, thus turning their unit into a-match-for-a hundred combat contingent demonstrating the majestic appearance of regular forces.
He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.
