Choe Thae Bok said in his congratulatory speech that the meeting is a great encouragement to the youths and other people of the DPRK pushing ahead with the building of a thriving socialist nation under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
The Korean people and youth will defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, fully perform their responsibility and role in the struggle for national reunification and prosperity of the country and strive to realize the human cause of independence in close unity with the progressive people and youths and students of the world, he declared.
He expressed conviction that the meeting would mark an important occasion in building up the world public opinion of condemning the reckless confrontation and war provocation moves of the U.S. and its followers who violate the DPRK's sovereignty and right to existence.
Tiago Alexandre Ferraz Vieira said in his keynote report that he will stand on the side of the Korean people struggling for the sovereignty of the country and its peaceful reunification.
He noted that the world progressive youths are highly praising the DPRK for having waged a dynamic struggle to open the door of reunification for the past several decades under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
He termed the recent case of the south Korean warship "Cheonan" sinking in the waters of the West Sea a farce cooked up by the United States to aggravate the tensions between the north and the south.
Ri Yong Chol said in his supplementary report that the reality of the Korean Peninsula more clearly reveals the true colors of the U.S. as a wrecker of global peace and security and chieftain of aggression.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces' ceaseless scheme to ignite a new war has been shattered and peace and security reliably defended on the Korean Peninsula thanks to the unique Songun politics of General Secretary Kim Jong Il, he said.
He expressed expectation and belief that the progressive youth and students and people of the world would as ever extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people including the youths in the struggle to open up a new phase for the independent reunification under the uplifted banner of Songun.
