Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il enjoyed a performance given by members of student art groups of Kim Il Sung University, Kim Chaek University of Technology, Kim Hyong Jik University of Education and other universities in Pyongyang.

They put on the stage such colorful numbers of various genres as chorus "O Korea, I Will Add Glory to Thee," female chorus "Cuckoo on the Road to the Front," song and story-telling " My Unforgettable Teacher," story-telling and song "18 Years Old Hero," witticism "Traits" and chorus "Let Us Dash Like the Wind towards Thriving Nation."

The ideological and spiritual world and moral traits of our revolutionary and militant students are noble and beautiful, indeed, he said, adding that the sacred Korean revolution will steadily advance only along the road of victory as there is such dependable younger generation.
