Ho Jong Man, chairman of the Central Standing Committee of Chongryon, had a conversation with them. The chairman expressed thanks to foreign friends for striving to expose the crimes committed by the U.S. troops during the last Korean war and achieve world peace.

The Korean people are waging a dynamic struggle for a hopeful future under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un and Koreans in Japan are also advancing in unity, keeping pace with them, he noted, and continued:

The great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un have ceaselessly sent educational aid fund and stipends for the national education of the children of Koreans in Japan. Chongryon is training able intellectuals who will shoulder upon themselves the future in the alien land.

Chongryon is firmly protecting the living and rights of Koreans in Japan despite intensified suppression by the Japanese reactionaries.

Ho expressed expectation and belief that the foreign friends would continue to extend positive support and cooperation to the patriotic activities of Chongryon and its efforts for global peace and the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea.

Ramsey Clark said that he was honored to take part in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War during his visit to the DPRK. He was greatly encouraged by the DPRK, he stressed.

Noting that the Korean nation has undergone sufferings resulting from the division for more than half a century, he said this is the tragedy caused by the war.

Micel Chossudovsky said the Korean war ignited by the U.S. imperialists was not a simple war but a genocide unprecedented in human history, urging the U.S. to admit and make an apology for it.

The DPRK is exposed to the constant nuclear threat of the U.S., he pointed out, describing the nuclear threat to the DPRK as blackmail against all Koreans in the north and the south.

Western media are spreading misinformation about the DPRK, he noted, adding that the imperialists' false propaganda is the trite method they have employed for decades.

He expressed conviction that the Korean people would register great success in their future struggle with an indomitable will.
