The glorious course covered by Chongryon, a dignified overseas citizens organization of the DPRK, is associated with the wise guidance and benevolent love of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

When the movement of Koreans in Japan was at the crossroads of survival and ruin, the President advanced the Juche-oriented policy of making line switchover and formed Chongryon, saying that the Koreans in Japan should work for their homeland and nation and carry on the Korean revolution although they live in Japan. This is the greatest exploit he performed in the history of the movement of Koreans in Japan.

Kim Jong Il has protected the socialist country and Chongryon, legacy of the President, with his invincible Songun leadership and is wisely steering the movement of Koreans in Japan in the new century.

From the outset of its formation, Chongryon has established the well-regulated organizational and work systems with the immortal Juche idea as the steadfast guideline. It has also realized the unity of ranks in thinking and purpose, thus turning into a dignified and authoritative organization of overseas Koreans.

Though it is active in an alien land, Chongryon has organizations at all levels from the central body and branches and institutions of various fields, including education, culture, economy, science and technology and media to faithfully serve the compatriots as the homeland.

It has also strengthened the work to defend the democratic national rights and education of compatriots, regarding it as the part of lifeline for the movement of Koreans in Japan, and thus given steady continuity to the patriotic movement. This is the shining success made by Chongryon.

Chongryon and Koreans in Japan have played a big role in the patriotic cause of prosperity of the homeland and national reunification.

Chongryon is now working hard to bring a new heyday of the movement of Koreans in Japan by carrying forward the exploits and tradition performed by their first generation in the patriotic drive.
