The KPA considers it as its basic mission to help the people. This idea, spirit and work style have long historical roots.

It was the firm will of the great commanders of Mt. Paektu and the fighting goal of the KPA to bring the love for the people into full bloom.

The Korean People's Revolutionary Army recorded legendary epics about assistance to people wherever it went while waging fierce battles every day against the Japanese imperialists. The KPA worked hard to render sincere help, political, labor and material to the people in the days of the hard-fought war, in the period of postwar rehabilitation and construction and in the period of socialist construction.

It became an unshakable principle of activities, vital requirement and firm fighting spirit in the crucible of protracted struggle for the KPA to do good things for the people.

The consciousness and enthusiasm of the service personnel to do more good things for the people have reached a new height as the revolution and army building have entered into a new stage of development.

The Korean people are highly proud and fortunate to have the great army which takes the road of patriotic devotion despite rain and snow, armed with the Workers' Party of Korea's noble idea of believing in people as in Heaven.

The DPRK is sure to emerge victorious in its struggle to occupy the high eminence of a thriving nation as long as there are the great party and army bringing the people's ideal into full bloom and their harmonious whole.
