Pyongyang,
April 26 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of
Korea (WPK) and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, paid a congratulatory visit to Kim Il Sung Military
University, the highest institute of military education in the DPRK, on April

armed forces of Korea at a time when the powerful and matchless self-defensive

When
Kim Jong Un arrived at the university, stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" for
the great Supreme Commander, symbol of the mightiness of Juche Korea and
ever-victorious banner, were raised, rocking the sky in auspicious April.
He
received a salute from the president of the university.
He
was presented with bouquets by an educator and a student of the university in
reflection of the boundless reverence of the officers and men of the entire
army.
Acknowledging
the enthusiastic cheers, he warmly encouraged all the teaching staff and
students who are faithfully upholding the Party's ideas and cause of building a
powerful army at the university which is linked with the precious name and
glorious history of our revolutionary armed forces and constitutes the
inexhaustible motive force for their heroism and invincibility.
He
was accompanied by Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of the Central Military
Commission of the WPK and secretary of the C.C., WPK, Kang Sun Nam, minister of
National Defense of the DPRK, Ri Yong Gil, chief of the General Staff of the
Korean People's Army (KPA), commanders of the services and large combined units
of the KPA.
He
made a speech during his congratulatory visit to the university.
"Teachers,
researchers and students of Kim Il Sung Military University,
"Comrades,
"On
the significant anniversary of the birth of the first armed forces of Korea, I
have visited Kim Il Sung Military University, the 'eldest son' institution of
military education in the country and a reliable 'pedigree' institution for
training core cadres of our army. I am very glad and moved to meet you
comrades.
"Today,
we are significantly celebrating the anniversary of the founding of the Korean
People's Revolutionary Army and are looking back upon the profound meaning of
its founding with due respect. When its founding was the beginning of the
prominent and sacred history of our army, the founding of
Kim
Il Sung Military University and the history of its development are a proud
course that laid an ever-victorious cornerstone for the army's vigorous
advance.
"Thanks
to the core role played by competent military personnel, our revolutionary
armed forces have followed only the road of victory for over 90 years, and Kim
Il Sung Military University has stood in the vanguard of the efforts for
achieving those brilliant exploits.
"There
is no other military academy or comprehensive military educational and
scientific base in the world than this university, founded in the days of a
fierce war, has made distinguished contributions to the strengthening of the
military capability and to the revolutionary cause, maintaining its traditions
and history as the combat ranks most faithful to the Party.
"Numerous
military commanders, sturdy 'sons' born of this university, are now defending
all fronts and posts firmly in various parts of the country and adding dignity
and honour to the exploits of legendary victories performed by the Korean
People's Army. This fact alone is enough for praising the name of the
university forever.
"On
behalf of the Central Committee of the Party and the government of the
Republic, I highly appreciate and express sincere thanks to all the teachers,
researchers and officials of Kim Il Sung Military University, who have firmly
guaranteed the mightiness and invincibility of the heroic Korean People's Army
and have remained boundlessly faithful to the Party's ideas and leadership from
one century into the next and from one generation into the next with their
matchless patriotic devotion and outstanding educational and scientific
achievements.
"Comrades,
"A
powerful army represents the pillar and future of a powerful country, and the
existence and prosperity of a state depend entirely on the strength of its
military capability.
"Just
as a house does not collapse when its pillars are strong, so our powerful
People's Army and military capability can be prepared only when the forces that
constitute the hard core of the army are firmly prepared.
"In
view of the sacred mission of defending the country's sovereignty and ensuring
peace and security that our army has shouldered and the high sense of
responsibility for the future of the country and revolution that our army
should shape in the vanguard, it is the main duty of Kim Il Sung Military
University to train a larger number of military talents fully prepared for
modern warfare and reliable military commanders of the army of the Party.
"The
more faithful the university is to its sacred duty, the greater our army's
militant might will grow in every way and, in direct proportion to this, the
greater the enemy's uneasiness and fear will become.
"As
long as this military university, the cradle for growing our army and the base
for guaranteeing victory of our army, remains firm as a university absolutely
loyal to the Party, as a base of a revolution in war tactics that would decide
the destiny of a revolutionary war and as a base for training military talents,
the wheel of history following the victorious road will never turn back.
"Comrades,
"The
first generation of our armed forces recorded sacred ideals and the truth of
invincibility in the sacred red flag. Our generation has shouldered an
extraordinary mission to bring into bolder relief the ideals and truth in our
era and in the history facing us with a great victory in war.
"At
this time, when we feel keenly once again the sacred duty of our army before
the times and the revolution, together with the profound historic meaning of
the founding of the KPRA, I ardently appeal to all the teachers, researchers
and students present here on the significant occasion.
"For
our beloved state and for the far-reaching plan of our army, which will
demonstrate its strongest might in the world for ever, let us faithfully serve
with a steadfast revolutionary spirit, with a transformation in military
education and with a passion for studying.
"Glory
to the bright future of the university!"
When
the speech was over, all the teaching staff and students paid the highest
tribute to the peerlessly illustrious commander who is ushering in a gigantic
new heyday in building a prosperous country with a strong army while glorifying
the dignity and the history of heroic victory of the revolutionary armed forces
of the DPRK originated in Mt Paektu at the climax of the greatest strength and
honor.
Kim
Jong Un again extended warm congratulations to the teaching staff and students
celebrating the truly significant and glorious anniversary for the WPK, the
state and the people with great pride in the sacred history and will of
succession.
He
went round the revolutionary museum and the room dedicated to the history of
the university.
He
recollected with deep emotion the immortal historic achievements of
President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim
Jong Il, who founded the university during the life-and-death hard-fought
Fatherland Liberation War and, through energetic leadership, developed it into
a world-class university with the history and prestige of adding an invincible
spirit and grandiose fame to the brilliant victorious history of the armed
forces of the DPRK and into a centre for training the core backbone of the KPA.
He
called on the university, which has shared the intention and pace with the
Party single-mindedly in the days of both glory and ordeals, to invariably
glorify the history and tradition of loyalty and more creditably train a large
number of competent commanding officers who would firmly guarantee the eternal
history of an independent and powerful country by force of arms.
After
seeing a class at lesson in a lecture room and a seminar at a room for studying
educational methods, guided by senior officials of the university, he learned
in detail in the combined teaching control room about the updating of education
and expressed great satisfaction over the educational achievements made by the
university.
Noting
that the military educational front is a bulwark and outpost for strengthening
the core position of the army of the Party, he said that when the future of the
revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered on Mt Paektu depends on the mightiness
and matchless fighting efficiency of the KPA, the fighting efficiency of the
KPA to be steadily developed in conformity with the present era should be
guaranteed by high abilities and excellent teaching results of the university
teachers.
He
set forth important tasks and ways for putting the educational work of the
university onto a new high, stressing the need to train all students to be
intelligent and brave all-round commanding officers possessed of absolute
loyalty to the Party and the revolution and high military qualifications by
consistently holding fast to and thoroughly implementing the Party's four-point
line on building a powerful army and the Party's policy on putting the military
educational contents on an actual fighting, comprehensive and modern basis.
He
had a photo session with the teaching staff and students in commemoration of
his visit to the university.
All
the teaching staff and students extended deep gratitude to the great teacher
and benevolent father who clearly indicated the road ahead of the university
with his gifted ideological and theoretical wisdom and rare scientific insight
and repeatedly showed deep love and trust.
He
expressed expectation and belief that the university would, in the future, too,
invariably demonstrate the dignity and honor of having guaranteed the eternal
prosperity of our revolutionary armed forces with the proud successes of
military education and lead a new period of surge in building a powerful army.
When
the photo session was over, the participants broke into stormy cheers of "Kim Jong Un" and
"Death-defying Defense".
Then
Kim Jong Un watched a football match between the teams of Kim Il Sung Military University
and Kim Il Sung University of Politics held on the occasion of the founding
anniversary of the KPRA.
The
stadium was full of joy and optimism of the cheering persons and the players
who were to play a match in the presence of the respected Supreme Commander
whom they had yearned for so much.
The
match ended with the victory of the team of the military university.
That
evening the Ministry of National Defense of the DPRK hosted a reception in
congratulation of the teaching staff of Kim Il Sung Military University
greeting the holiday.
Present
there on invitation were senior officials of the WPK Central Committee.
Minister
of National Defense Kang Sun Nam made a speech at the reception.
The
reception proceeded amid a soaring will of the participants to remain loyal to
the Party's idea of building a powerful army through a rapid development of
military education.
The
congratulatory visit to Kim Il Sung Military University paid by Kim Jong Un on
a significant holiday in the army-building history will shine long in the
history of the country as an occasion which injected an endless vitality into
the glorious journey of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK which are
steadily carrying forward the ever-victorious tradition of the revolutionary
army of the Party, which was born with the two pistols loaded with the idea of
Juche, with eternal heroism and great fame and are victoriously developing with
an aim to possess the world's strongest self-defense capability.
