National Meeting Marks Anniversary of Kim Jong Un's Assumption of Top Party and State Posts

Pyongyang, April 12 (KCNA) -- A national meeting took place at the People's Palace of Culture Monday to mark the 4th anniversary of supreme leader Kim Jong Un's assumption of the top posts of the party and state. Korean People's Army Vice Marshal Hwang Pyong So, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and director of the KPA General Political Bureau, made a report. Holding Kim Jong Un in high esteem as first secretary of the WPK and first chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission was a special event as it opened a new history of great prosperity, the reporter said, and went on: Having Kim Jong Un at the top posts of the party and the state helped give steady continuity to the lifeline of the Juche revolution, Songun revolution and eternally preserve the revolutionary character of the party and state as the great ones of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and provided a guarantee for sure victory of the general advance in the new century of Juche. Kim Jong Un is an iron-willed commander who has consolidated the self-reliant defence capability in every way with his invincible Songun revolutionary leadership and reliably protected the dignity and sovereignty of the country and the nation. After setting it as the general duty for army-building to model the entire army on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, he advanced original ideas and theories for army-building. He laid down the new line of simultaneously developing the two fronts and energetically led the work for steadily making the defence industry more Juche-oriented, modern and scientific and developing and producing more diverse and powerful weapons and equipment of Korean-style. The DPRK emerged the strongest nuclear power possessed of even H-bomb. This is one of the greatest feats he performed for the country and nation and for the victory of the Juche revolution and the people's cause of independence. All service personnel and people will never tolerate the reckless provocations of the U.S. imperialists and their followers to block the advance of the DPRK and stifle its ideology, cause and socialist system but resolutely foil them by dint of justice and wage a positive struggle for the independent reunification of the country, global peace and security and the cause of human independence, the reporter stressed. -0-
