Rosy Is Future of DPRK: Indonesian Minister
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- Andi Alifian Mallarangeng, minister of Youth and Sports Affairs of Indonesia, said he was deeply impressed to tour various parts of the DPRK.

He said:

My visit to Mangyongdae offered an opportunity to know well about the revolutionary life of President Kim Il Sung and his family members.

Born into a patriotic and revolutionary family, the President embarked on the road of revolution in his early years and liberated the country.

The Korean people have since led a genuine life as the master of the country.

I was deeply impressed to visit the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace.

I was surprised to learn that such magnificent palace was built for schoolchildren.

It can be found in the DPRK only as it regards the children as the king of the country.

Children in the DPRK are bringing their hopes and talents into full bloom.

Immensely rosy is the future of the DPRK thanks to its excellent educational system.

The People's Palace of Culture, national in style and socialist in contents, looks very wonderful.

I was very much admired by the palace.

The Korean people are resourceful and intelligent.

I visited an ice rink on the riverside of Pothong River and gymnasiums in Chongchun Street, which made me to keenly realize what great efforts the state has directed to developing sports.

The DPRK has recently registered good successes in sports.

I saw DPRK players win several gold medals in the 30th London Olympic Games.

Words fail to express my envy of them at that time.

We will boost exchange and cooperation with the DPRK in youth affairs and sports in the days ahead and thus contribute to developing the friendly ties between the two countries.
