Over the past three years since its 21st Congress Chongryon and Koreans in Japan have firmly protected itself, bravely overcoming manifold difficulties and ordeals, and gained precious achievements and a wealth of experience in the sacred struggle to usher in a fresh heyday in the movement of Koreans in Japan, the message said, and went on:

Keeping pace with the dynamic general advance of the people in the homeland, Chongryon should give full play to the mental power and potentials of its officials and compatriots and thereby bring its overall work to normal and put it on a higher stage and continue glorifying the honor as a patriotic pioneer and a model in the movement of overseas compatriots in the new century, too.

Chongryon should make a tangible contribution to accomplishing the independent reunification of the country and the cause of building a great prosperous and powerful nation, positively promote the friendship with the Japanese people, boost solidarity with the world progressives and thus create environment favorable for the development of its work and the Korean community in Japan.

Expressing belief that the 22nd Congress of Chongryon would prove to be one of victory and unity, inheritance and innovation to be specially recorded in the history of the movement of Koreans in Japan and mark an occasion in providing a springboard from which to usher in a new heyday of the patriotic cause, the message wished it good success in its work.
