Meeting of Pyongyang youth and students joining KPA held

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- A meeting of youth and students in Pyongyang joining the heroic Korean People's Army was held at the Open-Air Theatre of Youth Park on July 3. The meeting place was pervaded with the strong enthusiasm of the youth and students to devotedly defend the headquarters of the revolution and safeguard the socialist motherland at the risk of their lives at the sacred posts for defending the country.
    Kim Song Chol, first secretary of the Pyongyang City Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, in a report said that the extremely tense situation prevailing in the country due to the moves of the U.S. imperialists and their followers to stifle the DPRK calls upon all the young people to turn out in the battles for protecting the country and socialism in a do-or-die spirit with rifles in their hands.
    Noting that the youth and students in the capital city who have received more profound loving care and benevolence from leader Kim Jong Il than any others should take the lead in the sacred battles to protect the country, he called upon all the young people to protect the country as firm as an iron wall with rifles of revolution in their hands.
    Representatives of different social strata in their speeches expressed their determination to glorify their youth as soldiers just as hero Ri Su Bok readily laid down his life for the sake of the country in the 1950s and hero Kil Yong Jo devotedly defended the headquarters of the revolution in the 1990s.
    A resolution was adopted at the meeting.
    All the participants loudly shouted slogans and sang songs such as "Let us defend the headquarters of revolution led by the great comrade Kim Jong Il at the risk of our lives", "Let us glorify youth on the road of upholding the Songun policy of the great general" and "Let the whole country attach importance to military affairs and all people earnestly study them" and "song of defending the motherland".
