Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Famous Work Observed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 17 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today devotes a signed article to the 14th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "Let Us Prepare the Young People Thoroughly as Reliable Successors to the Revolutionary Cause of Juche." The work, published on January 17, Juche 79 (1990), serves as important guidelines in putting the Korean youth movement on a new stage and preparing the youth as reliable vanguard fighters ready to carry out the revolutionary cause of Juche.
    Saying that under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il the youth movement has entered a new stage of its development, the article notes:
    The sagacity of the leadership he provided for training a large contingent of Songun youth vanguard can find its expression in the fact that he trained the youth as passionate fighters who cherish the Songun idea as their faith and part of their disposition.
    The Korean youth are vying with one another in joining the Korean People's Army to defend the motherland, regarding it as the greatest honor to uphold the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il with arms. They find their life rewarding in the way of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution.
    The revolutionary soldier spirit, its core being the spirit of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution, which was created by the young Korean soldiers and their slogan of faith "Let us defend the headquarters of the revolution headed by great Comrade Kim Jong Il at the risk of our life!" clearly reflect the noble ideological and moral outlook of the Korean youth who regard the Songun idea as part of their disposition and uphold the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il with loyalty.
    The sagacity of his leadership is also manifested in fact that he trained the youth as vanguard and shock brigade in implementing the Party's policies.
    It is Kim Jong Il who greatly encouraged the young people to wage various mass movements including the youth shock brigade movement and thus get tempered and fully display their wisdom and stamina in the practical struggle for socialist construction.
    The sagacity of his leadership also finds an expression in the fact that he helped the youth acquire beautiful and noble traits.
    The Korean youth will as ever display wisdom and stamina of the youth vanguard in the Songun era in the sacred struggle to uphold the idea and cause of President Kim Il Sung under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.
