President Kim Il Sung's Army-building Exploits Praised Abroad
Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- Indian and Cambodian media gave special write-ups on the occasion of the Day of Army Building.

The Indian newspaper Ocean News Point dealt with the undying exploits President Kim Il Sung performed in building an army.

The President achieved the historic cause of national liberation and advanced the original policy of building regular armed forces by Koreans themselves after national liberation and indicated detailed ways for its implementation and saw to it that training centers of military and political cadres were set up and core units of the regular armed forces organized, the newspaper noted.

All the problems arising in building the regular armed forces were successfully solved in a brief span of time under his energetic guidance, said the newspaper.

The President declared the founding of the Korean People's Army, regular revolutionary armed forces, on Feb. 8 1948. The founding of the Korean People's Army provided a military guarantee for independent development of the country and nation and opened a broad avenue for powerfully advancing the Korean revolution in reliance upon powerful arms, the newspaper noted.

The Indian internet news Voice of Millions carried a similar report.

The Cambodian newspaper Khmer Times said that the KPA has been turned into an invincible army as it has been led by the ever-victorious great brilliant commanders possessed of outstanding military wisdom, commanding art and matchless pluck and has had tremendous politico-ideological and military technical might and army-people great unity.
