Pyongyang, August 7 (KCNA) -- Recorded in the sacred history of the Korean revolution shining with the indomitable and vigorous advance and successive victories are the precious feats of the patriotic youth who have accelerated the drive for the prosperity of the country, dedicating their youth to the sacred cause of bringing earlier the bright future.

The ardent pioneering spirit and matchless charging spirit of the young vanguard of Juche Korea are further developing into the most leading and revolutionary advance and heroic struggle to be praised forever along with the great era of Kim Jong Un .

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , who firmly believes and puts forward the young people always as the advancing group, wing and special detachment of the Workers' Party of Korea, designated the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade to undertake the rehabilitation and reconstruction projects in the flood-hit areas in Sinuiju City and Uiju County of North Phyongan Province.

Vowing to perform again miraculous and heroic feats through a gigantic brave offensive, glorifying the dignity and honor of the Korean youth, in response to the call of Kim Jong Un , many young vanguard members have volunteered for rehabilitation projects in flood-hit areas like the defenders of the country who had voluntarily gone to the front in the 1950s with surging patriotism.

A departure ceremony of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade to be dispatched to the rehabilitation campaign areas in North Phyongan Province took place in Pyongyang, the capital city, on August 6.

Kim Jong Un , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, attended the ceremony.

The plaza of the April 25 House of Culture, where ardent young people gathered before departing for the forefront of defending the people, was filled with their deep reverence for Kim Jong Un , who has led the young people to add lustre to their honourable title as the socialist patriotic youth, letting them stand in the vanguard of the struggle for the rosy future of a prospering power, and with their fervent will to live up to his such trust.

When he arrived, all the participants burst into stormy cheers of "Hurrah!"

All the participants paid the highest tribute and glory to the great leader who has brought up the young people to be the most vigorous unit of society that adds fresh strength to the country and creates new changes and to be the successors of the revolution who remain faithful to the cause of the WPK.

He extended militant greetings to the young people full of high enthusiasm to create new legendary tales about the heroic youth in the sites of the gigantic rehabilitation campaign, launched in a northwestern region of the country, by inheriting the proud tradition of responding to the call of the Party with loyalty and patriotic practice.

Present there were Jo Yong Won, Kim Jae Ryong and Pak Thae Song, secretaries of the WPK Central Committee, Ju Chang Il and Kim Jong Sun, department directors of the WPK Central Committee, Mun Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the youth league, officials of the youth league, commanding officers and members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade, and other young people and students.

The national anthem of the DPRK was played.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a speech of encouragement to the young people.

Expressing his pleasure of seeing the young revolutionaries filled with the steel-strong spirit worthy of the reliable reserves of the Party and the vanguard of the revolution and the pluck and spirit peculiar to the brave and ardent young people, Kim Jong Un highly appreciated the young people for responding to the calls of the country, the people and the revolution with enthusiastic volunteering and courageous attitude once again.

After a decision was made some days ago to dispatch the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade to the housing construction in the flood-hit areas of Sinuiju City and Uiju County, nearly 300 000 young people have volunteered to go to the areas of recovery from flood damage in less than a week, upon receiving the decision of the Party and the ensuing appeal of the Central Committee of the youth league, he said, adding that such explosive volunteering enthusiasm can never be found in any other countries and he would like to speak to the world proudly that our country have such great young people.

Saying that our young people have surely overcome obstacles to their advance by dint of struggle and preserved and glorified their true appearance with enthusiasm, wisdom and practice, he pointed out that their such deeds originate from their strong faith to share their destiny with socialism forever and are a manifestation of their beautiful outlook on life, with which they find their honourable and worthwhile life in their ardent love for the country and dedication to the Party and revolution.

It is the fact to be really proud of that a large contingent of such laudable and stalwart young people, who regard the hardship of the country and people's misfortune as their own pains, fervently support the determination of the Party Central Committee and deem it their revolutionary task, adds strength to the Party and the country, strikingly demonstrating the strong spirit of the Korean youth with their hearts burning with fervent enthusiasm, he said, extending warm thanks to the commanding officers and members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade and all other young people and students.

He also offered his warm greetings to the parents, who sent their dear sons and daughters to the grand construction sites without hesitation, and to the organizations and officials of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League at all levels that have inspired many young people to volunteer through an earnest appeal.

Saying that the enterprising spirit peculiar to the youth and their sky-high spirit and ever-growing vigour serve as an incomparably precious and powerful engine for our Party and people in attaining high goals and tiding over impending difficulties, he recalled that the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade and the Socialist Patriotic Youth League have successfully built the edifices reflective of their merits every year, proving through an indomitable struggle, eagerly waged by them for over ten years, how the spirit of loyalty and patriotism bequeathed by the martyrs is inherited.

Noting that the flood damage restoration work, to be launched in the basin of the Amnok River, would be a gigantic revolutionary construction campaign for giving a complete facelift to a part of our territory, he expressed the conviction that the members and officials of the youth shock brigade and the youth league would fully display their revolutionary traits and matchless creativity as befitting the ones of a vanguard unit for socialist construction and a special attachment dispatched by the Party, and indicated militant tasks to be fulfilled by them.

Saying that the enterprise and courage of the youth add vitality and dynamism to our society and their perspiration, exploits, strength and courage will increase the wealth of our country and people and further accelerate the advance of our revolution, he stressed that their youthful vigour and burning enthusiasm that will sweep the new creation campaign site, strong courage and bold offensive unhesitatingly braving difficulties, impeccable sense of responsibility and pure conscience deserving people's appreciation will shine as the heroic youth's typical characteristics representing the times.

He proudly said the dignity and prestige of our Party will be everlasting as a banner of invincibility and the lifeline of the Korean revolution will remain invulnerable for all ages, thanks to the faithful support by the revolutionary and patriotic youth organizations and young people with potential for attaining any demanding goals without fail, possessed of matchless bravery for tackling any trials and hardship.

Earnestly hoping that the young volunteers would return home in good health with the pride of having performed great feats to be etched in history, true to the expectations of their parents, siblings, teachers, organizations and comrades, he fervently appealed them to advance toward a victory, demonstrating the dignity, mettle and bravery of the honorable Korean youth.

All the participants raised stormy cheers, filled with a steel-strong will to add lustre to the patriotic spirit, heroism and great honor of the young vanguard with signal achievements by building a happy land of wonders to be envied by the world and another proud monument to the youth without fail in the natural disaster-stricken areas through an intensive struggle in hearty response to the calls and expectations of the Party and the revolution.

Ryu Chol Jin, chief of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade, and Sung Hyok, a brigade commander of the High-Speed Youth Shock Brigade, made oath-taking speeches.

The speakers said that the respected fatherly Marshal

Kim Jong Un bestowed on the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade such great trust and honor as designating it to stand in the vanguard of the sacred struggle for eradicating the misfortune of the natural disaster-stricken people as early as possible.

A letter of pledge to the respected fatherly Marshal was read out.

All the commanding officers and members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade made a solemn pledge to successfully build the people’s dwellings to be a new standard and model of regional rejuvenation, fully reflective of the appearance of an ever-developing highly civilized, prosperous and powerful socialist nation, in the flood-stricken areas, as timetabled by the Party, by dint of the indomitable heroic youth spirit, collective innovations and unequalled charge they displayed in the Paektu area and the capital city construction.
