Leader Kim Jong Il visited the Guard Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Tank Division No. 105 of the KPA on August 25, 1960 and left the sacred footprints of Songun revolutionary leadership. This is a historic event that he made remarkable exploits in strengthening and developing the revolutionary armed forces and carrying forward the revolutionary cause of Juche.

In the 1960s Kim Jong Il opened up an epochal phase for thoroughly establishing the leadership system of the Workers’ Party of Korea within the KPA and implementing the military lines of the Party.

In the 1970s he provided a new signboard for the building of the Juche-type army of the party by putting forth the slogan “Let Us Fight for the Great Leader with Our Lives!” to the People's Army, along with the program of modeling the whole army on the Juche idea.

He also wisely led the work to further strengthen and develop the People's Army to the revolutionary army boundlessly loyal to the Party in the 1980s.

Leader Kim Jong Il developed in depth the Songun politics and the Songun leadership in accordance with the requirements of the development of revolution in the 1990s thus strengthened the People's Army more stoutly into the vanguard units devotedly defending the leader and the strong revolutionary army of Mt. Baekdu.

In the new century he also provided the wise leadership to the People's Army to form the blood-ties with the Supreme Commander and discharge its lofty mission in the van of the Songun revolution, holding higher the banner of Songun.

The last 48 years during which leader Kim Jong Il has advanced the Korean revolution with the great Songun leadership are shining as the annals of victory and glory that he strongly brought up the People's Army into the pillars and main force of the revolution, reliably defended the fatherland, revolution and socialism, and opened up a new era of the national prosperity unprecedented in the 5000-year-long national history.

Therefore, the south Korean people extol in unison that thanks to the Songun politics that leader Kim Jong Il enforces with the iron-will and matchless pluck, the DPRK has smashed the aggression schemes of the US-led imperialist powers, broken through the enormous challenges and ordeals of history and firmly safeguarded the sovereignty and dignity of the nation.

It is the unshakable faith the south Korean people cherish dearly in their minds that the nation’s eternal prosperity and historic cause of reunification will come true for sure thanks to the great Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, the brilliant Songun commander of Baekdu.
