The participants laid a flower basket and bouquets at the statues of the great Generalissimos and paid tribute to them.
Mun Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League, made a report.
He said that the expedition of the 1 000-ri journey serves as an important occasion in grasping the noble intention and revolutionary spirit of the peerlessly great men recorded on this road of history and demonstrating the firm faith and strong will of all schoolchildren to steadfastly carry forward the march of Paektu under the guidance of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un.
He called upon all the participants to make a report of loyalty by accelerating the march and arriving in Phophyong, the land of history, in good health, keeping in mind that the respected fatherly Marshal is always watching them.
Then followed oath-taking speeches.
When the start of the march was announced, the study tour group began to march, flying the flag in front of the ranks.
Schoolchildren selected from across the country will trek more than 1 000 ri from Mangyongdae to Phophyong along the immortal course covered by the great Generalissimo.
