The performers put on the stage colorful numbers of diverse genres including mixed chorus "We Have Longed for You, General", male guitar quintet ensemble "Let's Defend Socialism", choral recital of poem "Long Journey for Devotedly Defending the Leader" and small chorus "Do Prosper the Workers' Party Era".

The performance successfully represented the iron faith and will of the people's security persons to always share the idea, will and destiny with Kim Jong Il and breathe the same breath with him and creditably perform their honorable mission as the first line unit in the class struggle and interior forces of the supreme commander despite any storm and stress and thus defend the most advantageous socialist system centering on the popular masses as firm as an iron wall.

When the performance was over, Kim Jong Il warmly acknowledged the enthusiastic cheers of the performers and audience and congratulated the performers on their successful performance.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the members of the art squad gave a performance rich in the ideological contents and high in artistry as it is clear-cut in the political stand and strong in the spirit of the times.

He highly praised the members of the art squad for having created pieces of great cognitive and educational value which give perfect answers to social problems in the era of Songun and staged the best, unique and refreshing performance. He extended special thanks of the KPA supreme commander to them.

Our socialist country of Juche is impregnable as its defence line is firmly protected by the heroic KPA which has grown to be ranks of a- match-for-a hundred fighters and the security of the country and its people are reliably safeguarded by the interior forces intensely loyal to the party, the leader, the country and the people, he added.

He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in the art agitation activities.
