A GREAT SUPREME COMMANDER DEDICATED TO BUILDING UP SELF-RELIANT DEFENCES

 

On the 30th of December 2011 , respected Marshal KIM JONG UN was appointed as Supreme Commander of the revolutionary armed forces of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) according to the decision of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea .

Since his appointment as Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the DPRK respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has dedicated himself to the work of building self-reliant defences , basically carrying forward the work and ideas of President KIM IL SUNG and Chairman KIM JONG IL .  Marshal KIM JONG UN creatively applied the original and independent line of building the economy and defence in parallel by adopting the line of building the economy and nuclear force in parallel at the March 2013 plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea.

As the tragic events in the Syrian Arab Republic show the work of building national defence cannot be neglected for one minute and a country should not try to rely on others for its defence but build self-reliant defences strongly. As respected comrade KIM JONG UN once said “We should be prepared for both words and actions. However fair-minded and just we are, we may become a bargaining chip for the strong and our precious history inherited with blood will loose its shine in a moment if we are weak”

The DPRK has never put reliance on others but has always built up its own defences. This line continues today . Recently on the 15th of November respected Marshal KIM JONG UN speaking to the battalion commanders and political instructors of the Korean People’s Army stressed that “ we will build up our nation’s self-defence forces, the pivot of which is its nuclear capability, limitlessly and endlessly without satisfaction.”

This is a bold declaration but at the same time an astute and realistic one in a world where imperialist aggression and intervention are rampant .It shows that respected Marshal KIM JONG UN does not have illusions in the enemies of the DPRK . In the past the revisionist USSR did deals with the US imperialists and foolishly agreed to limit its weapons .Socialist countries which stand in confrontation with the  imperialists should never limit their weaponry .

As Supreme Commander of the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has guided the work of building up national defence . The DPRK became not only a nuclear power but also a H bomb power and and ICBM power . Moreover the DPRK’s status as a nuclear power is now firmly enshrined in the DPRK’s constitution .

During the past few years the work of defence upbuilding in the DPRK has been greatly accelerated . In 2023 the DPRK launched its first ever military reconnaissance satellite Malligyong-1. Also in 2023 the DPRK launched its first ever Tactical Nuclear Attack submarine the Hero Kim Kun Ok submarine . This year on the morning of the 31st of October , the new Hwasong-pho 19 ICBM was successfully test fired . The Korean Central News Agency said that  "The moment, the entity with absolute power lifted off revealing its imposing figure, loaded with the DPRK people's bitter enmity and strong will to punish all evils and injustice on earth and annihilate the enemy”

Thanks to the 13 years of supreme commandership of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , the national defence capabilities of People’s Korea have advanced greatly . People’s Korea can defend itself against any aggressor thanks to the wise guidance of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , an iron-willed brilliant commander.
