Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

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

   Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 1105 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment.
    He acquainted himself with the unit's performance of duty and watched the training of its command staff and firepower drill before setting forth the tasks to be fulfilled by the unit to increase its combat capability in every way.
    He said that the commanding officers of the unit should do any work, always focusing efforts on the training and make sure that the military and political work in the unit is oriented and subordinated to ensuring successful training.
    He learned about the political work in the unit, looking round the servicepersons' hall and library and other cultural and educational facilities.
    He underscored the need to train all servicepersons as vanguard fighters of the revolution fully armed with high revolutionary and working class consciousness so that they may become young heroes in the Songun era who ardently love the country and unhesitatingly dedicate their youth and lives to the fight for the country just as Hero Ri Su Bok did.
    He met Kim Myong Chol, winner of Kim Il Sung Youth Honour Prize, and had a warm talk with him.
    He noted that Korean-style socialism is sure to triumph as the People's Army, a group of indomitable fighters strong in idea and faith, is standing firm as the pillar for the revolution.
    He paid deep attention to the servicepersons' living, going round the Soldiers' Health Complex, a combined welfare service centre newly built by the unit, and supply service facilities.
    He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the unit has provided the servicepersons with good living conditions and appreciated the efforts made by the commanding officers including the commander of the unit who has done a lot of work, serving at the same post for more than three decades.
    He highly estimated the achievements made by the unit in the past, saying that the unit honored with the above-said title is a model not only in military and political training but in supply service, in the cultural and moral level, management and in all other aspects.
    The present reality in which all units are making great contributions to boosting the military capability by bringing about a signal turn in the supply service proves in practice the validity of the teaching of President Kim Il Sung that supply service precisely means a political work, he noted, underlining the need to continue taking a firm hold on the work.
    He watched an art performance given by servicepersons of a company of the unit.
    He had a photo session with servicepersons of the unit and officers' families.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
