Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday editorially calls upon all the servicepersons and people to fully demonstrate the might of the single-minded unity of the DPRK where all of them share thought, will, intention and feeling with leader Kim Jong Il and bring about great innovations and leap forward in all worksites for building a thriving nation.

It goes on:

Kim Jong Il's visit to the Russian Federation will offer a good opportunity to more strikingly demonstrate the invincibility of Songun Korea characterized by the harmonious whole of the leader, the army and the people.

The servicepersons of the Korean People's Army are now standing firm guard over the defense line of the country, demonstrating the might of the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu while all the people are maximizing the speed of the advance for a great surge, awaiting the news of his Russia visit everyday.

All the party members and servicepersons should keep pace with Kim Jong Il performing undying exploits through his long trip to the vast alien land and fully display their ardent longing for him and patriotic devotion by effecting fresh leap forward and innovations.

It is necessary to fully demonstrate the solidity and invincibility of the political and ideological unity of Songun Korea.

It is essential to firmly equip the whole party, army and society with the spirit of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution, further strengthen the great army-people unity and lead all the people to work and live in a revolutionary and militant manner.

It is also necessary to counter the base and vicious psychological warfare of the imperialists and the class enemies and foil their every move with a high level of revolutionary vigilance.

The servicepersons of the Korean People's Army and the members of the Worker-Peasant Red Guards should remain highly alerted and firmly defend the DPRK advancing with the might of the single-minded unity.

The editorial calls for making redoubled efforts to make a biggest labor present to Kim Jong Il by achieving signal successes in the drive for a great surge.
