The statement said:

We extend warm congratulations to the army and people of the DPRK on the 22nd anniversary of Kim Jong Il's assumption of supreme commandership of the KPA and the 2nd anniversary of Kim Jong Un's assumption of the same post.

Kim Jong Il paid primary attention to strengthening the KPA by pursuing the original Songun politics.

The KPA has grown to be a reliable guardian of the socialist cause as it is under the command of Kim Jong Un.

Firmly convinced that the army and people of the DPRK will register greater successes in building a thriving nation under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Un, we extend solidarity to the DPRK's cause of Songun.
