Day of Youth Celebrated

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 28 (KCNA) -- Functions took place on the occasion of the Day of Youth (August 28) in the DPRK. Young soldiers of the Korean People's Army met with heroes of the Republic on August 27 at the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces.
    Heroes of the Republic Pak Chan Su and Yu Ki Hong, lecturers of the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, asked all the young soldiers of the new generation to become young heroes known to the motherland and people by performing brilliant feats with the conviction that the DPRK will certainly emerge victorious as long as they are guided by Kim Jong Il, supreme commander of the KPA, as the members of the Korean Democratic Youth League did in the 1950s.
    At the meeting the young soldiers manifested their resolution to become true heroes of the Songun era who add shine to their youth with guns in their hands by fully displaying the mettle of a-match-for-a-hundred brave soldiers in the showdown with U.S. imperialism.
    An art performance was given by the Young Art Squad of the Korean People's Army to be followed by an evening gala of young soldiers.
    In the meantime, a brass band concert "Youths, Forward under the Banner of Songun!" was given by schoolchildren in Pyongyang at the plaza of the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace.
    A national contests of art groups of primary committees of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League was held in Phyongsong, South Phyongan Province, on August 26 and 27 to mark the 55th anniversary of the DPRK and the Day of Youth.
