Youth Urged to Display Their Mettle

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- An appeal to the young vanguard of five million across the country was adopted at a meeting of young vanguard held at Jonsung Square Thursday to vow to thoroughly fulfill the tasks put forward in the joint New Year editorial. The appeal earnestly calls upon the members of the youth league and young people all over the country to demonstrate the mettle of the youth of Songun Korea once again to the whole world by working dramatic miracles and feats in the general onward march of the Songun revolution this year.
    The youth and students should take the van in bringing into fuller blossom the revolutionary traits of our society in which leader Kim Jong Il is held in high esteem as father, cherishing the unshakable belief that our leader is best and the line and policies of the Workers' Party of Korea are most valid and the revolutionary philosophy that one-minded unity with the headquarters of the revolution and socialism are an immortal community of destiny, the appeal says, and goes on:
    The young people should take the lead in barring reactionary ideological viruses and the corrupt bourgeois way of life from infiltrating into our society and making it overflow with revolutionary soldier culture in the Songun era.
    The youth league organizations at all levels should be firmly built up and their militant functions and roles enhanced to powerfully rouse the young men and women in a new great revolutionary surge so as to contribute to bringing prosperity to the country and grandly celebrating the 60th anniversaries of the Workers' Party of Korea and the liberation of the country as grand festivals of victors, the appeal says.
    Kim Kyong Ho, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, made a report at the meeting, which was followed by speeches.
    Secretary of the WPK Central Committee Kim Jung Rin was present.
