There are many monumental structures and industrial establishments whose names include the appellation youth in the DPRK.

It is because the young people have left an indelible imprint on the prosperity and development of the country.

The nearly 80-year history of the DPRK and the history of the Workers’ Party of Korea which has consistently maintained the idea of attaching importance to the youth include the proud history of the struggle of young people who dedicated their youth to the country and the people.

Last year young people built Jonwi Street, a grand monument to youth which reflects a future of the prosperous and powerful country, in the northern gateway to the capital city of Pyongyang and volunteered to work in the flood-stricken areas to successfully build strong embankments, modern dwelling houses for thousands of families and public buildings in a little more than four months in response to the call of the Party Central Committee for turning out for the people and the country while overcoming the crisis once again so as to bring about miraculous successes.

It is a precious tradition of all the young people to regard it as their bounden duty and great pride in life to unstintingly dedicate their youth to the country and the people while advancing straight forward following the leadership of the WPK.

In the periods of building a new Korea, the great Fatherland Liberation War and the post-war rehabilitation and the fierce struggle to defend socialism in the 1990s, the young people of the country always stood in the vanguard as desired by the Party.

Today, when the comprehensive development of socialism in the country has entered a new historic stage, its young people are adding lustre to their proud history and tradition, embroidering its history with brilliant miracles and feats.

The young people are full of confidence and vigour as they visualize with boundless joy an era of eye-opening changes to be brought about by the lofty ideal and leadership of the Party and the future of the prosperous country.

This year, which marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers’ Party of Korea, will witness the proud creation of monumental structures associated with young people’s feats, their gift of loyalty, on this land.
