Kim Jong Il's Feats for Army Building to Remain Forever

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

Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- August 25 is the Day of Songun (military-first) in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Leader Kim Jong Il began his Songun guidance with inspection of the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the Korean People's Army (KPA) on August 25, Juche 49 (1960).

During this inspection, he set forth important guidelines for strengthening the KPA into an invincible Paektusan army, the main force of defending its leader.

His inspection was a historic declaration on the brilliant succession to the cause of the Songun revolution pioneered by President Kim Il Sung with arms.

Since then, the proud history and tradition of the Korean revolution based on arms had made steady advance, opening up the great Songun era, a new era of the Juche revolution always emerging victorious under the banner of Songun.

Kim Jong Il had strengthened the revolutionary armed forces in every way with his distinguished idea and guidance while leading the work to defend socialism and build a thriving nation to victory for more than 50 years.

With the Songun policy as the banner of genuine patriotism and as the banner of anti-imperialist independence, he brought about a new phase of the national reunification movement advancing in the idea of "By our nation itself" and conducted energetic external activities, making great contributions to the cause of global independence.

Today the Juche-based cause of Songun has entered a new historic turning point.

Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is energetically leading the Korean army and people's struggle to accomplish the Juche-based cause of Songun pioneered in Mt. Paektu with the might of Songun, built up by leader Kim Jong Il all his life.

Kim Jong Il's great Songun feats will remain long with the history of the country under the guidance of Kim Jong Un making a brilliant new history of Songun Korea.
