Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un's Speech at Conference in Celebration of 80th Anniversary of Founding of Socialist Patriotic Youth League

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un’s Speech at Conference in Celebration of 80th Anniversary of Founding of Socialist Patriotic Youth League! (19.1.2026)

In the 1950s, the members of the democratic youth league defended their country in the flames of the war, and the Chollima movement pioneers rehabilitated this land on the debris of the war; in the grim period when the destiny of socialism was at stake, your parents’ generation defended their country, their social system. In this way, all the generations of our Republic have left behind legendary tales and structures, signs of their exploits, which are symbolic of their youth and which are named after their generations.

Shining on all these achievements are the feats performed by the youth league in implanting in the young people the sense of duty and obligation as befits the successors to the revolution and in firmly maintaining the tradition of purity, patriotism and loyalty of the youth movement of Korea.

DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Visits Bier of Kim Ki Nam! (9.5.2024)

He looked round the bier of Kim Ki Nam with bitter grief over the loss of a veteran revolutionary who, as a competent official in the Party’s ideological field, had remained boundlessly loyal to the cause of the WPK and devoted himself to consolidating the single-minded unity across the Party and society centred on the Party Central Committee in every way and to the Party’s ideological building and strengthening of its leadership ability till the last moment of his life.

He expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved family members and consoled them.
