Although at that time the General Secretary was old and his health was declining due to his busy work, the General Secretary still came to shake hands with each delegate. After listening to the delegates' reports, the General Secretary praised the achievements of the young soldiers and kindly asked about the soldiers working at the border and islands...", the Head of the Military Youth Department recalled.
