An oratorical meeting was held at the People's Palace of Culture in Pyongyang on April 13 to mark the 114th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.

Present there were Jon Kyong Chol, deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Hyon Un Chol, minister of Culture, officials concerned, officials and working people in Pyongyang.

The performers praised the revolutionary career and exploits of President Kim Il Sung, who devoted all his life to the country and the people, and impressively told about the personality as a great man of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is bringing earlier the future of the highly-civilized and thriving country, where the people's dreams and ideals are fully realized, with his ardent love and devotion.

They said that the President was a benevolent father who brought happiness and laughter to the people with his devotion till the last moments of his life.

They stressed that the exciting reality, in which the capital city and regions are changing simultaneously along with the inauguration season coming round every year and a qualitative change is being made in the life of the people across the country, is the immortal scene provided by the wise leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

Such oratorical speeches as "Patriotic Farmer" and "The Citizen of the Republic" touched the heartstrings of the participants as they dealt with the facts that all the farmers, conscious that there is a road to Pyongyang beside their farm fields, had made efforts to bring about a rich crop so that their farm could win the honour of being the 30 best farms in 2025 and that the Party Central Committee takes warmer care of those who made any mistakes or suffered mental agonies in the past.

The performers ardently called upon all the people to fully demonstrate the spirit and mettle of the Korean people in the general advance for opening up a new phase of upsurge in comprehensive development of socialism along the road indicated by the Ninth WPK Congress.
