The Message Read through Kim Jong Un’s Visit to Panmunjom

The world media widely reported on the inspection of Panmunjom by Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and supreme commander of the Korean People’s Army, in March this year, drawing special attention of the international community. His visit carries something meaningful.

First of all, through his recent visit he demonstrated his determination to win sure victory in the fight against those who are trying to infringe upon his country’s dignity and sovereignty without the slightest compromises or concessions.
Panmunjom is a historical symbol of showdown between the DPRK and the USA. This is the very place where the two countries signed an armistice agreement on the Korean war (1950-1953) and where an incident occurred in August 1976, driving the Korean peninsula to the brink of war once again. Kim Jong Un paid a visit to this historic Panmunjom and presented the KPA guards with a pair of binoculars, an automatic rifle and a machine gun as gifts. Specially noteworthy is that his visit coincided with the DPRK-targeted nuclear preemptive war rehearsals Key Resolve and Foal Eagle jointly conducted by the US and south Korea being under way.
Through his visit to Panmunjom Kim Jong Un showed his firm resolve never to tolerate any military provocations by hostile forces. He declared that if a fight breaks out in the future, the Korean army and people would force the enemies to kneel down and sign the surrender documents, not truce pact in the Korean war.
Next, Kim Jong Un’s inspection of Panmunjom displayed his strong will to achieve the country’s reunification without fail. If he wanted merely to show his intention of taking a hardline approach to the provocations bythe US and its vassal forces, his inspection of other military units would suffice for that purpose.
Prior to his inspection of Panmunjom, he visited a KPA unit which had turned the Yonphyong Island into a sea of flames in return for the provocation by the south Korean army in November 2010, and the KPA Strategic Rocket Command which is symbolic of the inexhaustible strength of the KPA.
   In Panmunjom stands a monument bearing the signature and the date President Kim Il Sung, founder of socialist Korea, wrote on a document concerning national reunification in the last period of his life. Panmunjom was also visited in November 1996 and several other times by Kim Jong Il who opened bright prospects for national reunification by having published the
historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration in 2000 and the October 4 Declaration in 2007.
Therefore, it is closely associated with the painstaking efforts and exploits of the Korean leaders for national reunification. From this point Kim Jong Un’s visit to Panmunjom reflects his firm determination to reunify the country without fail, true to the lifetime intentions of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. It is also
evidenced by his taking photos in front of the monument with the accompanying officials and the KPA service personnel standing guard over Panmunjom.
What strikes everyone with admiration is his courage of extraordinary calibre. He visited Panmunjom which is only a hailing distance from enemy posts, at broad daytime at that, and, made the rounds of many places for hours, before taking photos.
The sensational news about his tour of Panmunjom was followed by another news that Kim Jong Un saw a concert “Women Are Flowers” by the Unhasu Orchestra in celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8). Among the audience were couples of senior Party, government and military officials, women scientists, lecturers and researchers, women workers of labour feats in Pyongyang as well as foreign diplomats in the DPRK and their wives. He enjoyed the performance, very calm and composed, despite the tension running high in south Korea and around the Korean peninsula because the state-of-the-art US warplanes were hovering overhead, war vessels at sea and tanks on the ground were setting off guns. It is his message to the world that he would be far from being surprised at any attempt by the US and its allied forces to bring the situation to the brink of war, wielding nuclear weapons, and that he takes the initiative in handling the situation on the Korean peninsula.

Nobody dares attack Korea under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, and it is sure that he will achieve the country’s reunification.
