Pyongyang, December 16 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected the command of KPA unit 1971.
Being guided by the commander of the unit, Kim Jong Il looked round the room dedicated to the history of the unit.
Noting that the unit, formed and trained under the care of President Kim Il Sung, is a unit of combat capability as it has displayed mass heroism in defending the country, building socialism and safeguarding the lives and property of the people, he highly praised the feats performed by the unit during the last period.
He acquainted himself with its performance of duty before watching servicepersons in military training.
Expressing his satisfaction at the fact that all the servicepersons of the unit have been trained into reliable a-match-for-a hundred fighters, he set forth tasks for strengthening its combat capability in every way.
Walking round cultural education facilities including the servicepersons' hall, a library and a video room, he praised the unit for having furnished and run the centers for cultural education on a regular basis to train the servicepersons into those strong in ideology who are firmly equipped with the revolutionary idea of the WPK and transparent working-class consciousness.
Then he went round logistic facilities including a kitchen and a non-staple food store. It is an admirable success that the unit has developed the sideline and built up supply bases including the construction of saltern to solve many problems by its own efforts, he said, highly praising the spirit of self-reliance and fortitude displayed by the unit.
He had a photo session with servicepersons of the unit.
He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
