DPRK Army Day Celebrated in Brazil and UK
Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- A meeting and a film show took place in Brazil and a film show in UK on April 23 and 27 to mark the 79th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army.

The participants in the shows watched Korean films "Pyongyang Today" and "Reply of Korea".

The mayor of Jardinopolis City, Santa Catarina State of Brazil said that all the successes made in army building and the building of a thriving nation in the DPRK would have been unthinkable without the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il. We wish the Korean people greater success in their efforts to build a thriving nation, he added.

The director for culture of the city noted with high appreciation that President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il devoted their all to the Korean revolution and global independence.

The Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il serves as a lifeline that defends the sovereignty of the nation and guarantees successes in all fields of the DPRK, he said.
