Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Election as NDC Chairman Marked
Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- A meeting of officials and members of the Democratic Women's Union of Korea (DWUK) to hear impressions of leader Kim Jong Il's virtues took place at the Hall of Women Tuesday to mark the 22nd anniversary of his election as chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK.

Present there were Choe Ryong Hae, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Kim Jong Sun, chairwoman of the Central Committee of the DWUK, and officials of the women's union and its members in the city.

Speakers said that Kim Jong Il's election as NDC chairman was a historic event of great significance in victoriously advancing the revolutionary cause of Juche and the revolutionary cause of Songun that started on Mt. Paektu and building a thriving nation.

They added:

Kim Jong Il's inspection of the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the Korean People's Army on August 25, Juche 49 (1960) was a declaration of his iron faith and will to steadily carry forward the precious traditions of the Korean revolution pioneered and advanced by arms, and a declaration of history that proclaimed the start of the Songun revolutionary leadership.

Ceaselessly visiting units of the Korean People's Army, factories and enterprises in various fields of the national economy and co-op farms, Kim Jong Il worked heart and soul to increase the defence capabilities of the country and build a thriving nation.

The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK are fully demonstrating their might as the powerful Paektusan revolutionary army as they are holding Marshal Kim Jong Un, who is identical to Kim Jong Il, in high esteem at the top post of the party, state and army.
