Pyongyang, August 29 (KCNA) -- Marshal Kim Jong Un reviewed the seven decades-long history of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League in a speech made at its 9th Congress. He said that the above-said history is the one of the shining victory of President Kim Il Sung's and leader Kim Jong Il's unique idea of prioritizing the youth and their wise leadership and the one of ardent loyalty and patriotic devotion of the Korean youth upholding the Party, the leader, the country and its people. He said that the President, who gave origin to the youth movement in the flames of the anti-Japanese revolution, set forth the idea of the youth movement of Juche and led the work with youth, showing deep trust and love for them. He noted that Kim Jong Il developed the youth league into the youth organization intensely loyal to the Party and leader with the line of prioritizing the youth and outstanding and experienced leadership and ushered in a new heyday of the youth movement by training the youth as reliable successors who give steady continuity to the lineage of Mt. Paektu and staunch fighters for carrying out the cause of the Juche revolution. He went on: The great leaders set forth the idea of prioritizing the youth as the most important state affair and the strategic line of revolution in the whole period of the revolutionary leadership and wisely led them, perfectly settled the issue of youth for the first time in history and built a youth power without an equal in the world. This is the outstanding feat performed by the leaders. The proud decades in which the youth movement of Juche has victoriously advanced are associated with the precious blood and sweat and heroic feats of youth who have waged a self-sacrificing struggle for the Party, leader, country and its people. The youth of the first generation of the Korean revolution accomplished the historic cause of Korea's liberation by making long journeys for bloody battles against the Japanese imperialists despite snow storms with arms in their hands under the command of the President. During the Fatherland Liberation War the youth fought by unhesitatingly dedicating their youth and lives to the beloved country true to the leadership of the President, thus creating legendary stories about the victory of heroic Korea in the war and honorably defending the country from the imperialists' aggression. In the difficult period of postwar rehabilitation and construction, too, they performed shining labor feats and dashed ahead at the speed of Chollima, performing heroic Korea's miracles of building a socialist state independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in defence, in a short span of time. The youth defended the lineage of the Juche revolution and the socialist country at the cost of their lives by upholding the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il in the van during the grim period of stand-off with the imperialists and the U.S. which was decisive of the destiny of socialism, and ushered in the era of turn in building a socialist power by weathering difficulties and trials. The youth have firmly defended the Party, leader and country and vigorously advanced the socialist construction in the sacred road of revolution generation after generation. Their heroic struggle and feats will go down in the history of the Workers' Party of Korea and that of the building of the youth power of Juche. |
