Schoolchildren across the country prepared Sonyon (children) multiple rocket launch systems through dynamic do-good-thing movements in the run-up to the 77th anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union.

A presentation ceremony of Sonyon multiple rocket launchers took place in front of the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren’s Palace in Pyongyang on June 6.

It was attended by Kim Su Gil, chief secretary of the Pyongyang Municipal Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Ri Tu Song, department director of the WPK Central Committee, youth league officials, service personnel, participants in the letter of loyalty relay of KCU members across the country and other schoolchildren.

Mun Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League, delivered a presentation address.

He said it was the KCU’s precious tradition, which has been maintained along with its proud history spanning over 70 years, to prepare and send Sonyon military hardware to the posts of national defence.

A presentation document was handed over to an officer of the Korean People’s Army.

Speeches were made there.

Ri Ryong Jun and Kim Jong Ye, heads of KCU branches of Pyongyang Middle School No. 1 and Jesan Senior Middle School in Hyongjesan District, said they took great pride in presenting Sonyon multiple rocket launchers on the occasion of the KCU anniversary.

Saying that happiness of today and future can reliably be guaranteed only when the KPA is powerful, they vowed to conduct various do-good-thing movements more briskly for the army and study hard and train their body and mind soundly to join the army.

On behalf of the service personnel of the KPA, Paek Il offered militant greetings to all the KCU members across the country who prepared Sonyon multiple rocket launchers out of a desire to contribute to boosting the country’s defence capabilities.

After the ceremony, Sonyon multiple rocket launch systems left for KPA units amid the enthusiastic send-off by schoolchildren.
