Pyongyang, August 17 (KCNA) -- The western regional group of service personnel of the Korean People's Army who took part in torchlight relay race started on Mt. Osong with flags bearing portraits of smiling Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and arrived at a military post on Mt. Taedok on Aug. 15. The group was welcomed by soldiers of the post, officials of local party and power bodies and working people's organizations and people along the route. A meeting to remember the great personality of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il took place at the post. Then the servicepersons ran toward Panmunjom. Arriving at Panmunjom they held an oratorical meeting. At the meeting the performers highly praised the personality of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un as great man who warmly embraced servicepersons in Panmunjom associated with the footprints of the great brilliant commanders of Mt. Paektu, saying that he came to see them. Referring to the fact that the soldiers in Panmunjom received warm love and confidence from their supreme commander, they vowed to devotedly defend their outposts in the socialist country. In the course of their torchlight relay race they handed over school fixtures and sports apparatuses to schools and helped flood-hit areas recover from damage. They continue running toward Pyongyang, receiving warm welcome from people, including school youth and children. |
