He highly praised the reconnoitering and intelligence officers and combatants of the KPA for dedicating their youth, families and lives to defending the most difficult and dangerous reconnoitering and intelligence front assigned by the party and leaving their praiseworthy traces on it.

Noting that the reconnoitering and intelligence officers and combatants who are devoting all their wisdom and enthusiasm without looking for any honor and appreciation are the staunch revolutionaries and genuine roots of the party, he stressed that the feats performed by them in reliably defending the socialist motherland would be always remembered by the party, the country and the people.

The 1st Reconnoitering Officers' Conference of the KPA marked an important occasion in bringing about a turning phase of preserving and eternally glorifying the immortal exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il in the field of the reconnoitering and intelligence service and improving and strengthening the reconnoitering and intelligence service as required by the tense situation, he said. Congratulating the participants on the successful conference, he had a photo session with them.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Pak Yong Sik, Ri Yong Gil, Ryom Chol Song, Kim Yong Chol and Kim Rak Jun.
