Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, met members of the art troupe of Korean schoolchildren in Japan, who visited the socialist homeland and took part in the New Year performance for 2025, at the headquarters building of the Party Central Committee on January 2.

The schoolchildren were greatly excited with the highest happiness and honour as they would receive warm blessings of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un, whom they wanted to see so much, in the yard of the Party Central Committee which they have always kept in their hearts though they live in an alien land far from their homeland.

Seeing them full of joy with great excitement, the fatherly Marshal warmly congratulated them, who greeted the New Year’s Day in the motherland meaningfully, patting the beloved schoolchildren on their cheeks.

He took in his arms the valuable sons and daughters of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) who are growing up stoutly and beautifully by carrying forward the soul of their fathers and mothers who remain unchangeable on the road of patriotism, cherishing warm love for the socialist homeland, and had a photo taken with them.

The cheers of “Hurrah!” raised by the happy schoolchildren, who received his warm feelings of kinship, reverberated far and wide in the clear and blue sky of the new year.

Warmly shaking the hands of the head of the art troupe, he requested him to train a larger number of pillars who would carry forward the baton of the patriotic cause of Chongryon.

A song of loyalty and filial devotion, the sons and daughters of Chongryon had sung earnestly at the New Year performance, reverberated in the yard of the Party Central Committee full of loving care and passion of repayment.

Kim Jong Un heard with pleasure their song full of the desire to carry forward the patriotic tradition as their lifeblood, and warmly encouraged them.

Members of the art troupe of Korean schoolchildren in Japan were filled with the will to fully prepare themselves to be patriotic pillars, who would reliably shoulder the future of Chongryon, bearing deep in mind the boundless affection shown by Kim Jong Un.
