key link and a starting point in strengthening the whole army, brightly
indicated orientation and ways for companies to follow at each stage
and in each period of developing revolution and worked heart and soul
for strengthening companies politically and militarily.
The
Juche-oriented idea of the great Generalissimos on strengthening
companies and feats they performed by doing so are being successfully
carried forward onto a higher stage thanks to the wise guidance of
Marshal Kim Jong Un.
Supreme
Commander Kim Jong Un formulated Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the
guiding idea of the WPK and energetically led the work to model the
whole army on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism in all aspects with companies as
a base, thus opening up a heyday for strengthening the revolutionary
armed forces.
Kim
Jong Un brought up service personnel to be a-match-for-a hundred brave
and stalwart fighters and provided energetic guidance to turn all
companies into steel-strong militant ranks having strong discipline and
assuming the perfect appearance as the regular armed forces by
scrupulously managing the companies.
The
reporter referred to the fact that a fundamental turn took place in the
ideological and moral traits of the company commanders and political
instructors and in their work style and many successes were achieved in
the efforts to consolidate the companies through the struggle to firmly
preserve and glorify the idea of strengthening the companies set forth
by the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu and their feats.
He
called for making sustained great efforts to bolster up the companies
in order to accelerate the process of modeling the whole army on
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism on a new higher stage and thus develop the KPA
into an invincible revolutionary Paektusan army.
Speeches were made at the meeting.
The
speakers said that all the companies of the KPA grew to be the ranks of
human bullets and bombs devotedly defending the leader as they share
the intention, love and destiny with the supreme commander under his
energetic leadership and deep loving care.
They
said that they would turn all the companies into the ones of human
bullets and bombs devotedly protecting the leader and defending the
country full of faith and confidence that they are sure to emerge
victorious as they are led by the supreme commander.
Kim

tree) company there to have a photo taken with them.
He made a historic speech at the meeting.
Highly
appreciating the successes made in the work of the companies and
lauding those company commanders and political instructors who rendered
devoted service for them, he set forth the tasks to be carried out to
develop all companies into elite revolutionary ones devotedly defending
the WPK Central Committee and the ways to do so.
He

Committee to take the lead in overcoming difficulties and trials and
fully prepare all the company soldiers politically and ideologically and
in military technique. He called for establishing strong discipline in
the companies, boosting their appearance as regular units, decisively

leadership of the party.
Kim Jong Un made a closing address.
He
said that the meeting would go down in the history of the Juche-based
army building as it provided a landmark for the development of the
powerful revolutionary Paektusan army with the strengthening of
companies as a starting point under the uplifted banner of modeling the
whole army on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.
