Regarding Young People as Masters of the Future

One day in November 1948, President Kim Il Sung met delegates who took part in the 3rd Congress of the Democratic Youth League of North Korea. Acquainting himself with the good deeds done by the exemplary members of the Democratic Youth League for the country and the people, he highly praised them for their feats. Turning his affectionate gaze to the delegates who were deeply moved, the President said that they were the masters of the future Korea and that all the young people should devote themselves to the building of the country.

He went on to say that during the anti-Japanese armed struggle, too, the young people had taken the lead in battles, that a strong nation needed strong youth as the masters of the future, and that he had faith in the Korean youth of liberated Korea.

That day all the delegates made up their minds to be reliable masters in the building of a new country.
