The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un achieved great causes to be specially recorded in the history of building national defences to enhance the dignity and prestige of the DPRK to the highest level as a world military power.

In the present world of fierce contest between strength, he has pressed on with the building of national defences, regarding it as the top priority to guarantee the eternal security and prosperity of the nation. He has armed the Korean People’s Army with the Juche-oriented military ideas, strategy and tactics of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il and developed the KPA into elite revolutionary armed forces fully prepared politically, ideologically and in military technique.

He visited Kim Jong Il Military and Political University, Kim Il Sung Military University and O Jin U Artillery Academy to indicate the tasks and ways for training military talents. On his visits to training grounds, he said that he felt assured and proud to see the soldiers prepared as brave fighters like tightly-packed bullets and gave pep talks to the combatants who grew up to be reliable guards and passionate warriors of the KPA which always emerges victorious.

He organized the Fourth Conference of Battalion Commanders and Political Instructors of the KPA and clarified the ways for turning battalions into combat groups that have enforced strict military discipline and assumed the appearance appropriate to a regular army.

He made painstaking efforts to increase the defence capabilities to the world’s best as he directed all kinds of military exercises and test-fires at training grounds clouded with powder smoke and dangerous firing lines.

The artillery firing drill of large combined units of the KPA, the training competition between tankmen’s large combined units of the KPA and other military exercises guided by him served as important occasions in keeping the Korean revolutionary armed forces fully ready and in completely overpowering the challenges of aggressor forces in any battle circumstances.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un ensured the building of ultra-modern military hardware with his world-shaking pluck, iron will and matchless courage.

The super-powerful and ultra-modern military hardware and strategic assets demonstrating the tremendous military power of the DPRK could not be achieved by ordinary imagination and resolution.

The military hardware of the DPRK, in terms of the righteous purpose and character, the indomitable spiritual strength and unheard-of fighting spirit embodied in them, has thousands of times greater–utterly incomparable–power than those the military-industrial complexes of imperialist countries manufacture in pursuance of massacre, destruction and economic profit.

Through the launch ceremonies of new-type multi-mission destroyers in April and June this year, he demonstrated once again the invariable will of the DPRK to confidently attain the phased goals for achieving the cause of building a powerful nation with a strong army and modernizing a powerful army and opened up a new era of an advanced maritime power.

Military and technical superiority is no longer a monopoly of the imperialists and gone are the days forever when the enemies threatened and blackmailed the DPRK with A-bombs.

The DPRK will grow stronger in the future, too, as it boosts its defence capabilities for self-defence with the firm faith that military strength is the security, dignity and prestige of the country and people.

The status and absolute might of the DPRK as a world military power are irreversible.

The immortal exploits of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who built powerful national defences to guarantee the eternal security and prosperity of the nation, will shine forever.
