Annual Youth Day Celebration

In March 2012 the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un gave a meaningful instruction on Youth Day. He said that Youth Day should be celebrated on a large scale in the future and that the Youth Day celebration should be organized in such a way as to make it an important opportunity to demonstrate the organizing ability, united force and combat efficiency of the Korean youth. In August of that year he wrote on his congratulatory message to the participants in the Youth Day celebration, “If the hot-blooded young people march forward in high spirits, blowing bugles and beating drums, the whole nation will be inspired, the hot wind of a leap forward will sweep across the country and a prosperous future will be brought closer.” And he set tasks to the youth.

He also had a souvenir photograph taken with the participants and saw a concert together with them. Since then Youth Day celebration has been annually held in a grand manner, the whole country being characterized by wonderful scenes of the celebration in August.
