Anniversary of YCLK Observed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- The Korean youth will as ever creditably carry out their mission and duty they assumed before the times and the revolution and eternally glorify the proud history and tradition of the Korean youth movement, holding aloft the banner of Songun.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Young Communist League of Korea.
    It goes on:
    The Korean youth are the proud youth as they have created a history of shining victories in the Songun revolution under the steersmanship of the Workers' Party of Korea and the leader.
    The glorious path covered by the Korean youth movement under the banner of Songun is the history in which the ideas and politics of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il which call for attaching importance to the youth have triumphed.
    The Korean youth movement pioneered and led by Kim Il Sung has greeted a new heyday in its development under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    Kim Jong Il's politics of attaching importance to the youth is based on the original political philosophy that the army represents the youth and the Songun revolution can make a victorious advance and can be crowned with victory only when the youth are fully prepared and their role is increased. The designation of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League going by the august name of the President and its flag bearing his noble image are the symbols of the WPK's idea and politics of giving importance to the youth. It is the brilliant fruition of Kim Jong Il's idea and politics of giving importance to the youth that the tradition of the single-minded unity of the Songun revolution has been given steady continuity and the Korean People's Army is demonstrating its invincible might and an uninterrupted surge is brought about on all the fronts of building a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The Korean youth made a breakthrough towards the building of a great prosperous powerful nation by building such gigantic structures as the Young Hero Motorway, the Kwangmyongsong Saltern and large power stations in the difficult period. This was a miracle which could be worked only by the Korean youth who are struggling in the revolutionary soldier spirit.
    A rich and powerful country and the worthwhile life and future of the Korean youth would have been unthinkable without Songun. The road of Juche, the road of Songun, is the only way the Korean youth should follow at all times.
