National Meeting Held

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the People's Palace of Culture Friday to mark the 80th anniversary of President Kim Il Sung's 250-mile journey for national liberation and the 30th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of the march to study the journey. Present at the meeting were Choe Thae Bok, Yang Hyong Sop, Kim Jung Rin and others.
    Kim Kyong Ho, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, in a report said that the President started the 250-mile journey for national liberation on Jan. 22, Juche 14 (1925) with a noble aim and fixed will to save the country and the nation usurped by the Japanese imperialists.
    The reporter continued:
    As a continuation of the journey he led the anti-Japanese war to victory, liberating the country. He founded the Party and the state and strengthened the revolutionary armed forces into the regular armed forces.
    Thanks to his great Songun leadership, a brilliant victory was won in the Fatherland Liberation War, the complicated revolutionary tasks at various stages were successfully carried out and the people-centered Korean style socialist system was built in Korea.
    As Kim Jong Il started 30 years ago the march to study the historic 250-mile journey for national liberation made by the President, a steady continuity can be given to the long journey for the Songun revolution in the new century, too.
    All the youth and students, keenly aware of the need of the Songun era and their honorable mission, should glorify the idea and feats of the President down through generations and bring about a new great revolutionary surge on all fronts of socialist construction so as to make a positive contribution to greeting the 60th anniversaries of the Workers' Party of Korea and the liberation of the country as a great festival of victors.
    The youth and students should be true loyalists and young vanguard in the Songun era who always hold the President in high esteem as the eternal sun of Juche and absolutely trust Kim Jong Il and follow him to the end of the world.
    Bearing deep in mind that it is most ardent patriotism for the young people in the Songun era to be soldiers of Kim Jong Il and devotedly defend the Party and the leader with arms, they should join the People's Army and firmly prepare themselves as a-match-for-a hundred fighters.
    The reporter underscored the need to direct great efforts to the anti-U.S. class education to help them always maintain a high degree of revolutionary vigilance against the U.S. imperialists' moves for a new war and not to allow the imperialists' reactionary harmful idea and corrupt bourgeois way of life to infiltrate into the society even a bit.
