Kenji Mizutani, secretary general of the Japan Committee for Supporting the Independent and Peaceful Reunification of Korea, in his keynote address denounced the Japanese government for its evermore undisguised discrimination and suppression of the Koreans in Japan and called on the Japanese people to make a tangible contribution to the peaceful reunification of Korea and the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and the DPRK.

Then followed a lecture on the subject "For the conclusion of peace agreement and normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and the DPRK." Speakers laid bare the hostile acts of Japan and the south Korean regime against the DPRK and the Seoul authorities' unreasonable campaign to stifle a progressive political party and stressed the need to improve the north-south relations and the relations between Japan and the DPRK.

The meeting denounced the south Korean authorities for their fascist action against the progressive forces and adopted an appeal demanding the U.S. replace the Korean Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty and Japan lift the sanctions against the DPRK.
