The statement said that having Kim Jong Il as their supreme commander the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK achieved great success in the work to build a Juche-oriented army and bolster the national defence capability.

His leadership guarantees the destinies of the Korean revolution and the world socialism, it noted. His extraordinary commanding art and military strategy helped the KPA, a matchless revolutionary army, inflict shameful setbacks upon the U.S. imperialists, it added.

The statement said that the DPRK remains unfazed by the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces against it, decisively frustrating their machinations to ignite the second Korean war.

The KPA has resolutely protected the dignity, honor and sovereignty of the country, proving that even a small country can certainly stand up against the imperialist forces, it concluded.
