Pyongyang, January 2 (KCNA) -- Presented on New Year's Day was a picture showing the warm loving care and noble world of the benevolent father who represents the bright smile of the children, the hope and future of the DPRK, as the image of Korean-style socialism.

The respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un on January 1 met with the schoolchildren participating in the New Year performance and warmly wished them the bright future.

The venue of the photo session was filled with the schoolchildren's great emotion and joy of meeting the fatherly Marshal, whom they had longed for even in their dreams, on New Year's Day.

When the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un arrived at the venue, members of the Children's Union presented fragrant bouquets to him, representing the deep thanks and New Year's greetings of all the schoolchildren across the country.

Acknowledging the enthusiastic cheers, Kim Jong Un extended warm greetings to all the schoolchildren across the country greeting the New Year.

He met the Children's Union members who glorified the honor of the country with gold medals and set examples in the study, organizational life and good-conduct movement.

He wished the bright future to the schoolchildren who are growing up smartly and boldly, having dreams about demonstrating the honor of the DPRK and studying hard to add more luster to the country.

Saying that the honest and lively features and dynamic steps of the successors and reserves who would ardently love the socialist country and add more luster to it are, indeed, the power of the DPRK making a leap forward and its proud spirit, he had a meaningful photo taken with those schoolchildren participating in the New Year performance, hoping that they would sing of their great ambition, will to carry forward the revolution and growing ideals and passion to the full.

He met with the staff members of an art troupe of Korean schoolchildren in Japan who visited their socialist homeland, and called upon them to successfully train the rising generations of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan to be the pillars who would carry forward the baton of the patriotic cause. -0-
