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

   Pyongyang, December 5 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected the Twice Three-Revolution Red Flag Hero Jo Yong Ho Sub-Unit of KPA Unit 1313 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th regiment. He learned about how the sub-unit is performing its duty and conducting training.
    He praised the servicepersons of the sub-unit for standing firm guard over the defence line of the country with the noble patriotic determination to resolutely protect the socialist country with arms, fully armed with the WPK's Juche-oriented war methods through their combat and political training.
    He acquainted himself with the soldiers' service and living, going round various places of the sub-unit.
    Making the rounds of the compound of the barracks and its surroundings, an educational room, bedroom, kitchen, wash-cum-bath house, outdoor resting place, barns and different types of stores kept neat and tidy, a power station and water mill-style processing room built by the sub-unit itself in a peculiar style, he expressed satisfaction over the fact that it has built all entertainment, cultural and supply service facilities on a high level.
    He appreciated the success made by the servicepersons of the sub-unit, saying the mere fact that it has spruced up its revolutionary post so splendidly with the ardent love for the country clearly shows the strong mental power and combat capability of the servicepersons in the era of Songun.
    The servicepersons of the KPA are carrying out any difficult tasks in good time without fail if they are what the Party decided and instructed, thereby bringing about great changes and performing uninterrupted feats, he noted, underscoring the need for the society to steadily wage the drive to learn from the KPA the revolutionary spirit of devotedly implementing the instructions of the Party.
    He spared time to watch an art performance given by servicepersons of the sub-unit.
    He repeatedly spoke high of the sub-unit, noting that it is a model for the whole army not only in the efforts to increase the combat capability and the management of the unit but in mass cultural and art activities.
    He gave the servicepersons of the sub-unit a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts and had a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Vice Department Director of the WPK Central Committee Hwang Pyong So.
