The historic moment when the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un crossed the demarcation line in Panmunjom, the Koreans in Japan were convinced of the new era of reconciliation, unity and peace and prosperity opened before the nation amid pleasure and excitement, the statement said, and went on:

"The Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Reunification of the Korean Peninsula" signed by the respected Marshal becomes a new landmark of great significance in bringing earlier co-prosperity and independent reunification craved for by all the Koreans.

The statement warmly supported and welcomed the north-south summit and the declaration provided by the patriotic bold decision and the devoted efforts of the Marshal, reflecting the unanimous mind of all the Chongryon officials and Koreans in Japan.

It was a great event to be specially recorded in the nation's history which can be spearheaded by Kim Jong Un only as he is leading the whole nation to reunification with responsibility for the destiny of the nation that he provided a starting point for writing a new history of peace and reunification in Panmunjom, symbol of national division.

Chongryon and Koreans in Japan will turn out as one in the drive for implementing the Panmunjom declaration and make tangible contributions to ushering in the new era of national reconciliation, unity and peace and prosperity of the Korean peninsula after foiling all challenges and obstructive moves of outsiders and the sycophantic traitors, the statement stressed.
