Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- A national meeting took place at the April 25 House of Culture here on Monday to mark the third anniversary of Marshal Kim Jong Un's assumption of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

Present there were Kim Ki Nam, Choe Thae Bok, Ri Yong Gil and other senior officials of the party, state and army, members of the party central guidance organs in Pyongyang, officials of the party and armed forces organs, ministries and national institutions, persons of meritorious services, service personnel of the KPA and the Korean People's Internal Security Forces, and officials and labor innovators of institutions, factories and enterprises here.

Army General Ri Yong Gil, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and chief of the KPA General Staff, made a report.

Holding Kim Jong Un in high esteem as the supreme commander of the KPA true to the behests of leader Kim Jong Il marked a historic event which firmly guaranteed the inheritance and accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche, he said.

The past three years in which the DPRK has made a revolution, holding Kim Jong Un as the supreme commander, were a proud course in which a turn took place in developing the KPA under the guidance of the great Songun brilliant commander, he noted, and went on:

Kim Jong Un is the great brilliant commander who is training the KPA to be politically and ideologically and morally strong army winning victory by dint of idea and mental power.

He organized the study tour of revolutionary battle sites in Mt. Paektu area by commanding officers of combined units of the KPA and made sure that flames of the education in the revolutionary traditions raged furiously in the whole army. This marked an important occasion in training the service personnel as brave fighters who would successfully conclude the confrontation with the U.S. in the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu, the spirit as strong as the wind on it.

He is the outstanding brilliant commander who is building the KPA into the units of comrades-in-arms and comrades who achieved the single-minded unity with his warm loving care for service personnel.

A new chapter of building the units of comrades-in-arms has been opened thanks to the wise guidance and warm loving care of Kim Jong Un who put up the slogan "The whole army, become genuine comrades-in-arms!" and is hewing out an untrodden path of history, arms in arms and shoulders to shoulders with KPA service personnel during the grimmest ordeals.

He is the genius of military affairs who is further developing the KPA into the a-match-for-a hundred army with matchless combat capability.

He made sure that all service personnel prepared themselves to be tigers of Mt. Paektu equipped with Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il strategies and tactics, courageous offensive mode and perfect capability to fight real battles.

He saw to it that the level of arms and equipment was steadily raised as required by a modern war and thereby put the military and technical might of the KPA on the highest level whereby it can beat back any formidable enemy at one blow.

The brilliant tradition of the Korean revolutionary armed forces winning victory after victory is being more steadfastly carried forward in the great era of Kim Jong Un.

He is wisely leading the KPA to create the Korean speed in the a-match-for-a hundred attack spirit and the spirit of "at one go" in the advance for a great surge to build a thriving nation.

The whole country is seething with a great leap forward and innovations in the production and construction by dint of the army-people coordinated operations, the concerted efforts of the KPA holding high the banner of carrying out the WPK's idea and defending the WPK's policies and the people living and struggling in the revolutionary soldier spirit.

Thanks to his Songun politics and politics of independence, stern sledge-hammer blows are dealt at the heinous moves of the separatist forces at home and abroad to escalate confrontation with the DPRK, a dynamic nationwide struggle for Korea's reunification is being waged, the country's international prestige is rising day by day and international solidarity for the Korean revolution is growing stronger.

The DPRK is bringing into full bloom the people's dreams and ideal, winning victory after victory in the confrontation with the U.S. in the present-day's unstable world where gunfire is ceaselessly heard due to the imperialists' moves for domination, intervention and war. This eye-opening reality is entirely ascribable to the leadership of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un.

The reporter called upon the army and people of the DPRK to glorify forever the history and tradition of the shining victory of the army of Mt. Paektu, single-mindedly united close around Kim Jong Un who is recording the ever-victorious revolutionary history with his great idea, distinguished leadership ability and noble virtues.
