Officials and members of the women's union met with winners of the Communist Mother Honour Prize at the Hall of Women on March 6 in the run-up to the 116th March 8 International Women's Day.

Present there were Jon Hyang Sun, chairwoman of the Central Committee of the Socialist Women's Union of Korea, and officials and members of the women's union in Pyongyang.

The winners of the Communist Mother Honour Prize made speeches there.

Speakers noted that the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un gave high honour to their children who performed labour feats at such grand construction projects as construction of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station and the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, stressing that he is the benevolent father who brings into full bloom the dreams and wishes of the mothers across the country.

A winner recollected with deep emotion the days when she had trained her children to be true loyalists, ready to repay the benevolence of the Workers' Party of Korea, while showing her all sincerity for her husband, a special-class honoured disabled soldier, for decades.

Other speakers told about the world of loving care of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un who put forward their sons, who dedicated their youth for the dignity and honour of the Korean People's Army soldier, as DPRK heroes and patriotic martyrs and provided them with new flats like palace in Saeppyol Street.

The songs "Fly Forever, National Flag" and "My Strong Motherland" resounded through the hall, redoubling the will of the participants.

Then resolution-making speeches were made.
