Day of Songun Observed in Brazil
Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- The Brazilian Committee for Solidarity with the DPRK posted on its website an article "Leader Kim Jong Il and August 25" illustrated with photos of Kim Jong Il and supreme leader Kim Jong Un on Aug. 21 to mark the 53rd Day of Songun.

The article said:

Kim Jong Il inspected Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the Korean People's Army on Aug. 25, 1960.

This was not a simple inspection of the army unit.

It reflected his will to steer the revolution and construction in reliance on the army.

He made ceaseless journeys for Songun leadership for decades, prompted by this will.

His Songun leadership was developed in depth on a higher stage in the 1990s.

He reviewed and systemized the Songun idea in an integral manner and formulated Songun politics as main political mode under socialism.

His Songun leadership helped the DPRK bolster up its military power in every way and frustrate the imperialists' attempt at aggression.

Under his energetic Songun leadership the DPRK laid down a springboard for building a thriving socialist nation despite the worst trial and adversity.

His Songun leadership yielded so spectacular results.

It is ascribable to his Songun leadership that the world sees the DPRK, a small country, dynamically advancing along the road of prosperity, standing firm against the imperialist superpower.

That is why the Korean people mark every year Aug. 25 when he started his Songun revolutionary leadership as a significant day to go down in the history of the country.
