KPA's Birthday Celebrated in Brazil
Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- The Brazil-Korea Friendship Association issued a bulletin on April 22 to mark the 79th birthday of the Korean People's Army.

The bulletin carried an article titled "KPA Always Emerging Victorious under Banner of Songun", which said:

The nearly 80 year-long history of the KPA is shining as the history of the strong army which has always emerged victorious under the leadership of the outstanding brilliant commanders of Songun.

The revolutionary history of President Kim Il Sung is that of the Songun revolutionary leadership in which he founded the army first and led the revolution in reliance upon the powerful military might.

The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK defeated the Japanese and U.S. imperialists and have grown to be a powerful mainstay of the revolution. This is the shining fruition of the President's line of attaching importance to the military affairs.

The history of the President's leadership over the army is being successfully carried forward by Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il formulated the Songun politics as a basic political mode under socialism and has made ceaseless long journey of Songun.

His leadership is the basic source that helps the DPRK give fullest play to its national power.

The KPA is powerfully demonstrating its might as a powerful main force of revolution as it is fully prepared politically and ideologically and in military technique thanks to the Songun politics.
