Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- Many young people in Kangwon Province of the DPRK volunteer to work in difficult fields.

With their ardent love for the socialist country, dozens of youth league members have volunteered to work in the difficult and labor consuming fields of economic construction.

Young people in Munchon City and Kumgang, Sepho and Hoeyang counties petitioned to their youth league organizations to send them to the raw materials bases, with a resolve to contribute to implementing the regional-industry development policy of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Those in Kosan, Kosong, Changdo and Phyonggang counties volunteered to work at youth road platoons, construction brigades and stockbreeding farms. This shows well the true picture of the Korean youth who have grown up under the care of the Party.

Present at a congratulatory meeting held at the Kangwon Provincial Art Theatre were Ju Mun Jin, chairman of the Kangwon Provincial People's Committee, Kim Myong Chol, secretary of the Kangwon Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, officials of the youth league, youth and students.

Certificates were awarded to the volunteers and congratulatory address and speeches were made.

Officials, youth and students presented bouquets to the young people leaving for their new revolutionary posts. -0-
