Present there were Pak Ku Ho, vice-chairman of the Chongryon Central Standing Committee, Kim Hong Chol, director of the General Affairs Department, officials of the Korean Youth League, the Korean Youth Commercial Association and the Korean Students Union in Japan and other youth organizations and young Koreans.

The statement of the spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army was read out to be followed by speeches.

Taking the floor were Kim Cha Dol, chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the Korean Youth League in Japan, Sin Thae Hwa, director of the General Affairs Department of the Tokyo Headquarters of the Youth League and Ri Tong Ho, chairman of the Committee for the Choson Sinbo Company of the League.

They denounced the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors for having plunged the north-south relations into the worst phase during the past four years of office and created the touch-and-go situation, availing itself of the mourning period in the DPRK. Not content with this, it committed the thrice-cursed treason of hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, they added.

They said that it is the firm faith and moral obligation of the Korean youths in Japan to uphold General Secretary Kim Jong Il as the benefactor of their lives and benevolent father forever. The dear respected Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the nation, represents their whole life, they added.

They called for immediately wiping out the Lee Myung Bak group, made up of villains, traitors to the nation and war maniacs, on behalf of the whole nation.

They called upon the youths to stand in the van of the drive to strengthen the single-minded unity of the Chongryon ranks as firm as a rock and spur the patriotic movement, thus providing a springboard for ushering in a new golden age.
