The Socialist Patriotic Youth League is a vanguard unit that the Workers’ Party of Korea trusts and puts forward in socialist construction.

The trust and affection of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un are the motive force that accelerates the revolutionary advance of our young people to the fronts of socialist construction and encourages them to perform heroic feats in the proud march.

The speech he made at the recent departing ceremony of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade for the rehabilitation sites in North Phyongan Province is an encouraging banner, which ran through with his great trust in and affection for the patriotic youth who have turned out in the worthwhile struggle to remove the aftermath of the disaster and build cradles of a happy life for the people 

He said that after a decision was made by the Party and the subsequent appeal by the Central Committee of the youth league, nearly 300 000 young people volunteered to go to the areas of recovery from flood damage, and that such explosive volunteering enthusiasm can never be found in any other countries. He added that he would like to speak to the world proudly that our country has such great young people.

There are so many things that we young people have to do in the flood-hit areas and difficulties and challenges facing us.

But we have a precious and honourable title special detachment given by the WPK.

We will conduct a valiant struggle, staking the dignity and honour of the Korean youth, and thus demonstrate to the world what miracle we young people work in the areas where nature wreaked havoc.
