He noted the gifts to President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il displayed in the International Friendship Exhibition House reflect their noble personality as great men.

Jilin Province is a significant place associated with the revolutionary activities of the President in his early years, he said, adding the President is alive in the hearts of the Chinese people.

He continued:

Recent visit of Kim Jong Il to China clearly proved once again the solidity of the traditional Sino-DPRK friendship which was provided by the leaders of the elder generation of the two countries.

Bilateral exchanges and cooperation have expanded and developed in different fields this year.

This can be seen by the economic trade zones in Hwanggumphyong, Wihwado and Rason being built as a fresh symbol of friendship to contribute to the prosperity of the two countries and happiness of the two peoples.

The Chinese young people are fully ready to carry forward the friendly relations between the two countries generation after generation together with the Korean youth.

We, young people, will make every possible effort to bring about the bright future of the Sino-DPRK friendship in line with the desire and hope of the two peoples.

We wish the Korean people greater successes in their efforts to open the gate to a thriving nation in 2012, the centenary of the birth of the President.
