Wonsan, May 2 (KCNA) -- There took place sports and cultural events at the Songdowon International Children's Camp on Friday to mark the completion of its remodeling.

Supreme leader Kim Jong Un took the grandstand. Among the spectators were Hwang Pyong So, Kim Ki Nam, Choe Thae Bok, Choe Ryong Hae, Han Kwang Sang, Ri Il Hwan, Choe Hwi, Ma Won Chun, Kim Yo Jong, Jon Yong Nam, chairman of the Central Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, officials and employees of the camp, shock brigade members, officials of the youth league, school children and officials in Kangwon Province.

In the match the South Hamgyong Provincial team trounced its rival 5:4. Then followed an awarding ceremony. Kim Jong Un warmly acknowledged the enthusiastic cheers of the players and spectators at the end of the match. He shook hands with the players and coaches of the teams and referees one by one and encouraged them before having a photo session with them. He called even those who helped ensure the successful match close to him and had a photo taken with them. On the same day a congratulatory performance "We are the happiest in the world!" was given by the Moranbong Band at the International Friendship Children's Hall of the camp. Kim Jong Un watched the performance. Put on the stage of the performance which started with female chorus "Children's Union March" were such colorful numbers as female trio "General and Children", female duet "Father is at Frontline" and female solo "Our Father". The performers impressively represented through fascinating and rich sound of Korean-style light music the undying exploits President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il performed by making sure that palaces and camps were built for children in every scenic spot across the country and made the history of love for children all their lives, calling them kings of the country. They sang high praises of the fact that the great history of love shown by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu, is being given steady continuity on this land thanks to Kim Jong Un whom the people hold in high esteem as the father of the great family of the country. The performers presented light music and serial songs "Collection of children's film music" and "World of cartoon films" based on theme songs of children's films liked by schoolchildren of the DPRK to meet their minds. They revved up the festive atmosphere. The performance was highly acclaimed by the audience. The sports and cultural events reached their climax with fireworks display at the end of the art performance. At the end of the fireworks display Kim Jong Un warmly waved back to all the participants who again broke into cheers of "hurrah!" |
