Kim Jong Il Enjoys Acrobatic Performance Given by Pyongyang Circus
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) - General Secretary Kim Jong Il enjoyed an acrobatic performance given by the Pyongyang Circus.

Put on the stage were such excellent acrobatic numbers high in artistry as pieces which received gold medals at international acrobatic festivals including physical acrobatic "Multilateral flying", synchronized swimming "Group acrobatics"", comedic acrobatics "Two fellows" and animal circus "Bears' rope jumping".

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the artistes of the Pyongyang Circus staged a splendid performance reflecting the desire, hope and steadfast revolutionary spirit of the Korean people making steady leap forward and advances by fully embodying the WPK's literary and art policy in their practical creative work.

He extended high appreciation and thanks to them for their successful performance.

He advanced important tasks that would serve as guidelines for further developing the Juche-oriented acrobatic art.

Underscoring the need to firmly establish Juche and properly combine socialist contents with national style in order to develop the socialist national acrobatics, he noted that it is the consistent policy of the WPK to do so.

It is necessary to direct primary efforts to the development of physical acrobatics including aerial trapeze and synchronized swimming and, at the same time, place comedic acrobatics and animal circus on a higher stage and positively develop jugglery pieces based on advanced science and technology.

It was one of the important factors of the steady development of the Juche-oriented acrobatics to have firmly established the system for training future acrobats, he said, calling for paying deep attention to training future acrobats.

He expressed great expectation and conviction that all the creators and artistes of the circus would create a lot of peculiar and successful pieces required by the era of the Workers' Party by devoting their wisdom and enthusiasm and thus educate the party members and other working people in a revolutionary manner to powerfully encourage them in the drive for accomplishing the cause of building a thriving nation.
