The lecturer said that the April joint conference held in Pyongyang at the direct proposal and under the guidance of President Kim Il Sung was a historic meeting at which the entire Korean nation except the Syngman Rhee group of traitors agreed on opposing the division and supporting the establishment of a unified government.

Ri urged the Japanese government to have correct understanding of the situation on the Korean peninsula and make efforts for improving relations with the DPRK on the basis of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration, not going against the peace on the peninsula.
