Women's Union Members Present Light Aircraft to KPA

A ceremony of presenting light aircraft Nyomaeng (Women's Union) took place on April 23 to mark the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

Among those present were Choe Ryong Hae and officials concerned, servicepersons and members of the Socialist Women's Union of Korea (SWUK).

Chairwoman of the SWUK Central Committee Jang Chun Sill made a presentation address.
She said that the light aircraft reflects the patriotic mind and will of all the women's union members to contribute to beefing up the country's defence capability.

She called upon the women's union members to make their children actively join in the military service and give sincere assistance to the army by steadily inheriting the tradition of assisting the army displayed on Paektu and the spirit of assisting the army displayed by women of the village on the banks of the Nam River in the 1950s.

A presentation certificate was handed to an official of the KPA General Staff.
