DPRK Important Day Celebrated
Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- An explanation meeting was held in Indonesia and film shows in Myanmar, India and Germany between Dec. 17 and 22 on the occasions of the 18th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's assumption of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the 92nd birth anniversary of anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk.

The participants in the film shows watched "Arms of Korea", "Reply of Korea" and other Korean films.

Speeches were made at the events.

The general secretary of the National Guidance Council of the Pioneer Party of Indonesia said that Dec. 24 is a very significant day for the Korean people, adding: It is of very profound meaning that President Kim Il Sung let Kim Jong Il assume the heavy responsibility of the KPA supreme commander on this day, the birthday of Kim Jong Suk.

The KPA with Kim Jong Il as its supreme commander has grown to be an invincible army capable of defeating any formidable enemy, the speaker stressed.

The secretary general of the Union Solidarity and Development Association of Myanmar said that Kim Jong Suk's desire for creditable succession to the Songun cause of Kim Il Sung was realized and the DPRK is demonstrating its dignity as a powerful country to the world as the Korean people have held Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the KPA supreme commander.

The Songun politics enforced by Kim Jong Il serves as a model of world politics, the secretary general said, stressing that the KPA equipped with the powerful war deterrent is the defender of peace and justice as it removes war danger and guarantees lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.

A message of greetings to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the event held in Germany.
