Ri Kong Sun said that he had fought to keep the pledge made by him before the party and the country, undergoing hardships in prison for decades.

He noted that the absolute trust and noble loyalty to Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were the main secret enabling him to win victory in fierce confrontation of idea and faith with the enemies.

He stressed that he had enjoyed a worthy life as an indomitable pro-reunification patriot and DPRK hero after coming to the care of leader Kim Jong Il and is now leading a happy life under the warm loving care and benevolence of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

He expressed belief that members of the delegation would stoutly grow up to be reliable successors to the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan and ardent patriots under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.

An art performance was given by unconverted long-term prisoners and their families and members of the delegation at the meeting.
