The bulletin said in an article that Kim Jong Il's Songun leadership is a main factor that enabled the DPRK, not a big country, to defend its sovereignty and dignity and win victory, firmly standing in confrontation with the U.S. styling itself the world's "only superpower."

Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division of the Korean People's Army on August 25, 1960, thereby beginning his guidance to the military field before his guidance to the party work, the bulletin said, adding: His Songun leadership helped the DPRK defend its sovereignty and dignity and reliably ensure peace and security in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia and thanks to his Songun politics the political and ideological might and military and technological capability of the KPA have been boosted in every way.

Referring to the fact his Songun leadership brought about a turning phase in Korea's reunification and remarkably raised the international position of the country, the bulletin extended highest glory to him for having trained the KPA into an invincible army and performed immortal exploits for the prosperity of the country.
