Anniversary of Start of Songun Leadership Observed
Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- A seminar on the work of General Secretary Kim Jong Il took place in Guinea, a meeting in Switzerland and lectures and film shows in the Czech Republic and Indonesia between Aug. 12 and 14 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his start of the Songun revolutionary leadership.

The participants in the film shows watched such Korean films as "Order No. 027."

Speeches were made at the functions.

The chairman of the Guinean Society for the Study of the Juche Literary Idea at the seminar on Kim Jong Il's work "The Songun-based Revolutionary Line Is a Great Revolutionary Line of Our Era and an Ever-Victorious Banner of Our Revolution" said that the self-defensive national capability of the DPRK has grown stronger and unprecedented eye-opening miracles are being wrought on all fronts to build a thriving nation, thanks to his Songun politics.

The factor which makes the Songun politics now in force in the DPRK fully display its might is that it is a perfect political mode under socialism, unanimously supported by the Korean people, he stressed.

The chairman of the Switzerland-Korea Committee in his speech at the meeting said that Kim Jong Il has put forward the army as the pillar in the national defence and socialist construction and enforced the Songun politics, thus frustrating the moves of the imperialists for aggression and turning the DPRK into a state that launched satellites and had access to nuclear weapons.

The victory the DPRK has gained in the confrontation over the recent "Cheonan" case clearly proved that only the Songun politics is the almighty treasured sword which safeguards socialism and the security and sovereignty of the country.

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