Chief Jo Il Min and members of the mission greeted the chairman and had a talk with him.

On the occasion Jo Il Min noted that diverse events praising the revolutionary career and immortal feats of President Kim Il Sung were taking place across south Korea to commemorate the Day of the Sun.

He also briefed on the fact that the people from all walks life in south Korea are warmly congratulating General Secretary Kim Jong Il on his reelection as chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission at the First Session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly and the successful launch of satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 and that the happy news have been widely introduced by south Korean media.

Alejandro Cao de Benos expressed full support and solidarity with the vanguard fighters of the AINDF and the south Korean people in the struggle to defend and implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.

He made public a statement condemning the pro-U.S. conservative authorities of south Korea for getting more hell-bent on the anti-DPRK moves over its satellite launch.

Branding the authorities' crying out for "full participation" in the PSI under the pretext of the DPRK's satellite launch as an unpardonable criminal act of totally destroying the inter-Korean relations and driving the Korean nation into holocaust of a nuclear war, the statement strongly demanded that the U.S. and its followers stop their moves to stifle the DPRK at once.

It expressed full support for the statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry released as regards the UNSC's adoption of brigandish "presidential statement" criticizing the DPRK's satellite launch.

The Korean Friendship Association expresses full support for Songun Korea firmly defending its dignity and sovereignty from the U.S. and its followers' despicable and vicious moves, the statement said.
