The past three years since the 21st Congress of Chongryon were the fruitful days when officials of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan have dynamically spurred the triumphant advance of the patriotic cause while firmly defending their organization without the slightest hesitation and vacillation despite manifold difficulties and ordeals, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:

Chongryon has powerfully demonstrated the invincibility of the patriotic ranks, strengthening the unity and cohesion of the ranks in thinking and purpose and firmly protecting the interests of the compatriots even under the grave situation in which the anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon moves have become more undisguised than ever before. This is the greatest success made in the period under review.

Chongryon and Koreans in Japan have positively supported and defended the socialist homeland and made a great contribution to the drive to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country and build a great prosperous and powerful nation.

Chongryon and the movement of Koreans in Japan are at a crucial historic turning point.

The movement of Koreans in Japan is sure to triumph as there are the great leader, the great homeland and Chongryon, a powerful Juche-based organization of overseas Koreans, and the indomitable mental power and inexhaustible strength of the compatriots rallied close around it.

Minju Joson says that the 22nd Congress of Chongryon will be brilliantly recorded in the history of the movement of Koreans in Japan as a congress of victors and unity thanks to the positive struggle of officials of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan.
