One day in January 2005, Chairman Kim Jong Il managed his valuable time to sit together with commanding officers of the Korean People’s Army.
That day he said that the history of struggle covering not less than ten years since the demise of President
Kim Il Sung verified more vividly the truth that the military power is the guarantee for peace, our socialism and people’s well-being and recollected those hard times.
Looking round friendly the officials who were deeply excited, the Chairman taught that the People’s Army is the most powerful militant ranks who defend the frontline of our revolution and a stronghold of socialism.
And then he underscored that when the People’s Army only was strong, we could defend socialism of our style without vacillation and bring glory to it even though the powerful enemy might pounce upon us and in any storm and stress and that we should ceaselessly concentrate on strengthening the People’s Army.
