Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA), enjoyed an art performance staged by the amateur art groups of KPA units selected in the sixth round of the second-term art performance contest of KPA officers' wives. The performers truthfully represented the noble ideological and moral world of officers' wives living in an optimistic and revolutionary manner, deeply cherishing the confidence in victory that the prosperity of the socialist country and the happiness of their wives lie in trusting and following Kim Jong Un only. They impressively sang of the boundless pride and self-esteem and an optimistic and joyful life of the officers' wives who have grown to be proud women revolutionaries upholding the Songun revolutionary leadership of the WPK on the first line of defence amid the profound loving care and trust of Kim Jong Un. He said they staged all numbers firmly based on the reality and made a profound ideological and artistic depiction of important socio-political issues arising in the struggle and life of the people in the Songun era. Noting that they created and staged art works strong in agitation and appeal on the themes of the undying exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il in their units and the important policy issues of the party at present, he expressed great satisfaction over the performance of great cognitional and educational value and perfect in ideological and artistic contents. The performance once again proved the very ennobling ideological and moral qualities of the officers' wives taking the lead in implementing the party policy on mass-based culture and art true to the noble intention of Kim Jong Il, who initiated the contest and put it on a traditional basis, he said, adding he was greatly encouraged to hear the voices of the members of the art groups of officers' wives absolutely supporting the party policies.
