Pyongyang, July 6 (KCNA) -- The remembrance meeting of school youth and children titled "The Sun and the Youth" and a similar meeting of members of the Democratic Women's Union of Korea and other women entitled "The Songun Revolutionary Cause Is Everlasting" were separately held at the Central Youth Hall and the Women's Hall on Monday on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung.

Ri Yong Chol, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, and others who took the floor recalled at the meeting of school youth and children that Kim Il Sung put forward the unique idea and theory on the Juche-oriented youth movement and pursued the politics of attaching importance to youth, thereby leading the Korean youth movement to victory and glory.

Looking back on the glorious days when they had the honor of being received by the President and accorded profound loving care and benevolence by him, they stressed that the President was the real father for all the Korean people.

They also related the story that the President led the school youth and children and bereaved children of the revolutionaries to fully prepare themselves as heirs to the revolution and juvenile guards by inheriting the indomitable revolutionary spirit and noble soul of the anti-Japanese forerunners and creditably fulfill their duties on the road of defending the country and achieving the prosperity of the country.

Ro Song Sil, chairwoman of the Central Committee of the women's union, and other women who took the floor at the women's meeting said that Kim Il Sung put the women's position to the highest level and let the Korean women, who had once been subject to maltreatment and insult, emerge revolutionaries and give full play to their wisdom and mettle in the work for the country's prosperity.

They told the attendants that Kim Il Sung looked after the children as their real parents would do, regarding them as a treasure of the country.

The speakers at the meetings evinced their resolution to remain true to the Songun revolutionary leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
