He had a photo session with service personnel of the unit after giving a pair of binoculars and automatic rifle to the company directly under the unit, expressing belief that its service personnel would defend the dear socialist homeland as firm as an iron wall.

He looked round the room devoted to the history of the unit.

He said General Secretary Kim Jong Il had particular expectation and concern towards the unit.

He told the officers and men to unite in one mind and develop the unit into stalwart steel-strong combat ranks, bearing deep in mind Kim Jong Il's noble will enshrined in the proud colors of the unit whenever they face difficulties and bottlenecks.

Watching the photo of Ju Tong Gil, former commander of the unit, who died in the line of duty while making devoted efforts to round off the combat preparations of the unit, he recollected Ju whom Kim Jong Il missed.

Kim Jong Un went round the library where he saw different kinds of books and materials for ideological and cultural education sent by the WPK.

He dropped in at an operation study room where he received a report on the unit's performance of duty and its trainings.

He said the unit has a very important mission to fulfill, setting forth important tasks that would serve as guidelines for rounding off its combat preparations.

He looked round the mess hall, non-staple foodstuff store and bean store.

He then moved to a company directly under the unit. Going round bedroom, education room and wash-cum-bath room, he praised the company for having provided its soldiers with all conditions so that they may not feel any inconvenience in their living.

As I visit the splendidly-built barracks of the unit, I remember the words of leader Kim Jong Il that he would certainly visit it, Kim Jong Un noted, adding: How happy we would be if we had come to the unit, accompanying the leader.

He enjoyed an art performance given by the soldiers of the company at the end of his visit to it.

They staged such colorful numbers as narration and chorus "Boundless Is Our Yearning", chorus "He Is Our Dear Supreme Commander", chorus and story-telling "Company Is Our Dear Home", poem and chorus "We Will Defend General Kim Jong Un at the Cost of Our Lives."

The supreme commander warmly clapped his hands while watching the performance. He had a talk with the soldiers of the company and had a photo taken with them.

That day he visited the family of Officer Kang Yong Sun and learned in detail about the construction of houses for officers of the unit.

He was accompanied by Jang Jong Nam, Son Chol Ju, Jon Chang Bok, Rim Kwang Il and Ri Man Gon.
