Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Ten years have passed since General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt. Paektu in March Juche 89 (2000).

Under the wise leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, the revolutionary battle sites and revolutionary sites in the area have been successfully spruced up as the base for education in the revolutionary traditions. More than 19 million people in total including servicepersons, working people of all strata and school youth and children made study tour of the revolutionary battle sites and revolutionary sites in the past ten years.

Among them were many study tour groups including the group of the Korean People's Army for study tour of the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt. Paektu, the group of the Ministry of People's Security for study tour of Kim Jong Il's birthplace in the Paektusan Secret Camp, the national group of young vanguard for study tour, the national group of school youth and children for study tour and the national group of officials and members of trade unions for study tour.

An endless stream of servicepersons and people visited the anti-Japanese battle sites to deeply grasp the glorious revolutionary traditions, strong roots and eternal cornerstone of the WPK. This is an expression of the unchangeable faith and will of the army and people of the DPRK to successfully carry forward and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by President Kim Il Sung, united close around Kim Jong Il.
