Paektu under the leadership of Kim Jong Un (Kim Cho’ng-u’n)” and the speakers called upon the presentation ceremony participants to “acquire a wealth of knowledge and firmly train their bodies and minds through hard study, successful organizational life and sports activities and prepare themselves as soldiers of Kim Jong Un, bearing in mind that the warmest patriotism is expressed in defending the country.”
