Rodong Sinmun Calls for Augmenting Might of Songun to Maximum
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un's work "Let Us Hold Great Comrade Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as General Secretary of Our Party Forever and Successfully Accomplish the Revolutionary Cause of Juche" serves as highly important guidelines for increasing the might of Songun to the maximum, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a bylined article.

The work, published on April 6, 2012, clarifies the fundamental principle and ways for further consolidating the politico-ideological might and military and technological capacity of the Korean revolutionary armed forces. It also comprehensively deals with overall issues arising in bolstering up the military capacity including mission and role of the Korean People's Army as a driving force for the revolution, improving the living conditions of service personnel, etc.

The article says:

It is the immense fortune for the army and people of the DPRK to have received precious guidelines for army building fully consistent with the idea and line of the pioneer of the cause of army building and its leader, the article notes, and goes on:

The KPA has performed shining feats to be recorded in the history of the country, holding aloft the slogan "Let us take charge of both the defence of the country and socialist construction under the Songun leadership of the party". It has built great many structures to be always remembered and praised by the people. The relations between the army and people have developed into blood ones rare to be seen in any other country of the world. This history represented a course in which the service personnel's noble traits of not sparing blood and sweat and even their lives for the country and its people have been established throughout the army as an army discipline.

The great unity between the army and people will reach the highest level as the most ardent comradely ties and those between comrades-in-arms when the fighting spirit of the KPA and its spirit of "at one go" become the ideology and feelings and traits of all people and they share blood and feelings with each other on the road of the Songun revolution.

It is the unanimous desire and unshakable will of the army and people of the DPRK to demonstrate before the whole world the dignity and honor of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il's Korea, holding higher the banner of Songun with the flow of time, concludes the article.
