Choe Su Bong, vice-chairman of the General Association of Koreans in China, in a memorial address said that Kim Jong Il took warm care of the work and life of Koreans in China and led overseas Koreans to invariably keep to the patriotic road, cherishing the soul of the nation.

He noted that over the past one year all the service personnel and people in the homeland have waged a dynamic struggle to implement the behests of Kim Jong Il and brought about such event as successfully launching satellite Kwangmyongsong 3-2 and accurately putting it into orbit entirely by their own efforts and with indigenous technology under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

The general association and all the Koreans in China will build the association into an overseas Koreans organization remaining loyal to the leadership of Kim Jong Un, more dynamically conduct the patriotic movement and value and consolidate the DPRK-China friendship, he stated.

The august name and image of kind-hearted Kim Jong Il will always be remembered by the people in the homeland and overseas Koreans and his sacred revolutionary history and undying feats will shine long in the history of the country, he stressed.

A letter to Marshal Kim Jong Un was adopted.
