She in her statement said that Kim Jong Il has always led the KPA along the path of victory with his matchless grit and iron will and rare wisdom, glorifying the history of his Songun revolutionary leadership from long ago.

When the U.S. and other hostile forces kicked up a war racket, escalating their moves to stifle the DPRK under the pretext of the nuclear issue, he firmly protected the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean people with his steadfast revolutionary principle and stand, she noted, and went on:

The KPA under the commandership of Kim Jong Il has grown to be an invincible army fully prepared politically and ideologically and in military technique and steel-strong ranks capable of defeating any formidable enemy and made a breakthrough in the difficult and labor consuming fields of the socialist economic construction as the mainstay of the revolution.

The Korean people will continue advancing along the road chosen by themselves despite all sorts of difficulties and hardships and the cause of socialism in the DPRK is sure to triumph thanks to the outstanding Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il and the KPA holding him in high esteem as its supreme commander, she stressed.
