Waving back to their enthusiastic cheers, he extended a warm salute to them.

He highly appreciated the feats of the participants in the meeting who are unhesitatingly dedicating their youth and lives to the sacred military service despite rain or snow with revolutionary faith, gem- like conscience and true sense of moral obligation.

He said all frontline soldiers including the participants are precious revolutionary comrades and comrades-in-arms of the WPK and expressed expectation and belief that they would successfully perform their honorable mission and duty in carrying out the Songun revolution, always bearing in mind the trust of the party in them. Then he had a photo taken with them.

Present there were Choe Ryong Hae, Kim Won Hong, Kim Kyong Ok and Hwang Pyong So.
