The vice-chairman of the AINDF Central Committee said this in a statement released on Dec. 24 to mark the 17th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's assumption of supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the 91st birth anniversary of anti-Japanese war hero Kim Jong Suk, according to Kuguk Jonson Internet site.

The noble life of mother Kim Jong Suk is shining as the revolutionary history of the prominent woman revolutionary and lifeguard who devoted her all to the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche, holding President Kim Il Sung, peerlessly great man, in high esteem as the sun of the nation, the statement said, and continued:

The revolutionary cause of Juche, pioneered by Kim Il Sung and carried out by Kim Jong Suk all her life, is dynamically advancing along the road of victory and glory as Kim Jong Il, son of Mt. Paektu and illustrious commander, is held at the highest post of the revolutionary armed forces.

It is the highest honor and greatest fortune of the Korean nation to have Kim Jong Il as KPA supreme commander, who has ushered in the new era of the national dignity shining most brilliantly in the nation's history spanning 5,000 years and prosperity with his great Songun politics.

Of late, the U.S. has made desperate efforts to instigate traitor Lee Myung Bak into checking the Koreans' movement for independent reunification while being hell-bent on war exercises against the DPRK and arms buildup.

The people from all walks of life should more dynamically wage the struggle to defend and implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration with the steadfast stand to achieve national reunification independently only in the idea of "By our nation itself" no matter how the situation may change.

It is also necessary to form an anti-U.S. and anti-Lee Myung Bak front involving people from all walks of life and resolutely foil the U.S. and pro-U.S. conservatives' racket for a war of aggression against the DPRK and their moves for confrontation with fellow countrymen.
