Title of Generalissimo Awarded to President Kim Il Sung
Pyongyang, April 11 (KCNA) -- The DPRK people awarded the title of Generalissimo of the DPRK to President Kim Il Sung in April Juche 81 (1992) on the occasion of his 80th birth anniversary.

The award of the title of Generalissimo of the DPRK to the President was the praise of history, the will of the Korean people and the demand of the times.

The title reflects the boundless reverence and warm loyalty of the Korean people to the President who defeated two imperialisms in one generation and defended the dignity and sovereignty of the nation with his outstanding military ability.

He defeated the brigandish Japanese imperialism styling itself the "leader" of Asia and achieved the historic cause of national liberation by training the Korean People's Revolutionary Army into a powerful main force of the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle and the hard core of the Korean revolution in the flames of the anti-Japanese revolution.

He successfully accomplished the cause of building the regular armed forces in a short span of time after the liberation of Korea and led the Fatherland Liberation War to victory, thus shattering the myth of the "mightiness" of the U.S. imperialist that boasted of the history of more than one hundred years of war of aggression and creating the legendary tales of war victory in the 20th century.

He trained the Korean People's Army into an invincible revolutionary army capable of repelling any formidable enemy at a single blow and put all the people under arms and fortified the whole country, thus providing a powerful military guarantee for the sovereignty of the country and the eternal prosperity of the nation.

The Korean people are now full of enthusiasm to build a powerful socialist country on this land without fail, true to the leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, keenly realizing once again the feats of the President who provided a firm guarantee for the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation.
