The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un reposed trust in and bestowed favors on the youth by inviting the young people, who performed merits in the pilot sectors of socialist construction true to the decisions made at the 8th Congress of the Party, to the celebrations and sending them a letter of congratulations.

A meeting was held on Aug. 28 to convey the letter of congratulations sent by Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, to the reliable young people who volunteered to work in difficult and challenging sectors of socialist construction.

Attending the meeting were Ri Il Hwan, member of the Political Bureau and secretary of the C.C., WPK, Ri Tu Song, department director of the C.C., WPK, the young people who volunteered to work in the difficult and challenging sectors, officials of the Central Committee of the youth league, chairpersons of the provincial committees of the youth league, exemplary officials of the youth league and officials in charge of youth affairs.

The letter of congratulations sent by Kim Jong Un was conveyed by Ri Il Hwan.

In the letter of congratulations Kim Jong Un highly appreciated the laudable patriotic deeds of the young people, who volunteered to work in the difficult and challenging sectors of socialist construction in the stirring period when a dynamic struggle is being waged for the rejuvenation of our great state, demonstrating far and wide the revolutionary character and fighting mettle of the Korean youth who go through fire and water in response to the call of the Workers' Party of Korea, and extended warm congratulations and militant greetings to them.

He said that the young people, who left their dear homes and brightly illumined cities to settle in the workplaces, to which others do not dare to go, and in other places strange to them, with the same dream and ideal of supporting the Party's intention, are a great pride of socialist Korea and source of its great strength, as well as young patriots of our era, stressing that the remarkably soaring enthusiasm for volunteering by young people after the Eighth Congress of the Party is an expression of their outlook on beautiful life.

Saying that a state with a huge army of young people, who stoutly carry forward the revolutionary spirit and fighting stamina created by their preceding generations, advances by leaps and bounds full of youthful vigour without knowing any senility for ever, he expressed conviction that the communist society, which the hot-blooded young revolutionaries pictured in their minds at the beginning of the Korean revolution, will turn into reality without fail thanks to the unflinching struggle of the patriotic young people boundlessly loyal to the call of the WPK.

Firmly believing that all the young people, who volunteered to work in the difficult and challenging sectors, will further heighten the patriotic zeal and fighting spirit and exalt their honour of being heroic youth who will remain in the memory of their motherland and fellow people in the vanguard of the advancing rank as befits true sons and daughters of the Party, he wished a bright future of the beloved young people.

Oath-taking speeches were made at the meeting.

The speakers said that the letter of congratulations sent by the respected General Secretary, every paragraph of which instills the great pride, self-confidence and revolutionary enthusiasm of the patriotic youth into their hearts, is the blessings of great love offered by him to all the young people across the country who glorify their precious youthful days, deeming it their biggest honor and pride to remain loyal to the Party and the country and dedicate themselves to them.

Then, led by Mun Chol, chairman of the C.C., the Socialist Patriotic Youth League, all the participants solemnly vowed to the respected General Secretary to cherish such honor as the best assets of their careers and fully demonstrate the mettle of the true sons and daughters of the WPK and the socialist patriotic youth in every worksite for implementing the decisions of the 8th Congress of the WPK.
