Present there together with him were Choe Ryong Hae, Ri Yong Gil, Jang Jong Nam, Kim Won Hong, Choe Pu Il and other leading officials of the armed forces organs.

Noting the meeting marked a turning landmark in developing the powerful Paektusan revolutionary army with the bolstering up of companies as its starting point under the uplifted banner of modeling the whole army on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, he warmly congratulated all the company commanders and political instructors on successfully holding the meeting with high political awareness and revolutionary enthusiasm. Then he had a photo session with them.

He expressed his expectation and belief that they would turn their companies into those of the powerful elite revolutionary army as desired by the party and fulfil their honorable mission and duty in the work to make their service personnel feel themselves at home there.
