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

   Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 1159.
    After learning about the unit's performance of duty, he watched its servicepersons in training.
    He praised the great enthusiasm for training prevailing in the unit, expressing satisfaction over the fact that all servicepersons of the unit have grown up to be a match-for-a hundred stalwart fighters.
    The shining success achieved by the unit in the past is the result of the strenuous efforts made by it to thoroughly implement its training program, he said, setting forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines for intensifying the combat training, a basic guarantee for increasing the combat capability.
    Going round a political lecture room, an educational room and other entertainment and educational facilities, he said that it is good for the unit to conduct the revolutionary education, the working class education by a unique and diverse method. He underscored the need to more dynamically conduct the political and ideological education to prepare all servicepersons as soldiers strong in idea and faith who are intensely loyal to the Party and the revolution.
    Walking around a bedroom, a mess hall, a wash-cum-bath house, a daily provision store and other places, he appreciated the efforts made by the commanding officers, highly praising them for having provided the soldiers with good living conditions by minutely organizing the preparations for wintering and supply service work.
    He told the commanding officers to treasure and love the soldiers as their real brothers and sisters and take warm care of their living with parental love as these soldiers are precious revolutionary comrades and revolutionary comrades-in-arms who are rendering worthwhile service for the sake of the Party and the revolution, for the country and the people in their youth.
    Making the round of the compound of the barracks kept neat and tidy and feasting his eyes on the thick woodland in the nearby mountains, he highly appreciated the noble patriotism displayed by the servicepersons of the unit, expressing great satisfaction over the fact that they have planted a lot of trees in those mountains and tended them with good care, creating a thick woodland, prompted by the single desire to turn the country into a land of bliss.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He also looked round a power station of KPA Unit 169 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led Seventh Regiment.
    Praising the unit for having built the power station on its own, he underlined the need to keep the production of electricity on a normal footing in order to realize the electrification at the unit on a high level.
