The participants said in the letter that 2017 is an auspicious year marking the 105th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung and the 75th birth anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il, who performed immortal exploits in achieving the freedom, independence and prosperity of Korea and in accomplishing the cause of global independence. The letter went on:

The seminar took place when the international activities are being dynamically waged to glorify the year 2017 by praising the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu.

The seminar offered another momentum for highly praising once again the extraordinary leadership of respected HE Kim Jong Un who is successfully carrying forward the noble revolutionary careers and exploits, the idea and cause of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, the eternal leaders of the Korean people.

The letter expressed belief that DPRK would certainly turn into a reunified power as wished by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in the future, too, while demonstrating the might as a power safeguarding the independent and popular advantageous idea and social system and the global peace and security and representing the justice of the international society.

We will give wide publicity to the personality of the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu and more vigorously conduct the international solidarity movement to safeguard the sovereignty and right of the DPRK, the letter noted, adding: We will do their best to hold the 5th International Festival in Praise of the Great Persons of Mt Paektu with a large attendance in the area of Mt. Paektu and Pyongyang in August this year.
