The formation of Chongryon was a historic event which declared before the whole world the birth of the Juche-oriented overseas Koreans movement and brought about a dramatic turn in carving out the destiny of the Koreans in Japan, the article says.

The article refers to the great feats performed by Chongryon for the country and the nation.

It goes on:

Chongryon has developed to be unblemished patriotic ranks remaining boundlessly faithful to the idea, line and leadership of President Kim Il Sung and general secretary Kim Jong Il and sharing destiny with the socialist homeland. This is the greatest feat made by Chongryon.

It formed organizations at all levels, organizations of various strata of the people and enterprises from the central to the lowest organizations in conformity with its popular character. It, at the same time, rallied broad strata of Koreans in Japan close behind itself and has carried on the positive struggle to protect their democratic and national rights and promote their well-being as a steadfast spokesman and defender of their rights and interests.

Chongryon established a well-regulated system for national education and has successfully trained many talents who would shoulder upon themselves the future of the patriotic cause, thereby firmly preserving and glorifying culture and tradition inherent in the Korean nation.

It has made a sincere dedication to the prosperity of the socialist homeland, regarding a contribution to the prosperity of the homeland as their noble mission and sacred duty.

It has fully supported the just and fair policies and proposals for the country's reunification and waged a resolute struggle to realize them, making a great contribution to expanding and developing the movement for the country's reunification into a nation-wide patriotic movement.

The article expresses belief that the Chongryon officials and Koreans in Japan will as ever strengthen Chongryon, a patriotic heritage of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, true to the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un, and invariably carry forward the sacred history of the patriotic cause.
