Raymond Ferguson, director of the Secretariat of the regional committee, said in his speech that it would highly praise the exploits of President Kim Il Sung and intensify the movement for solidarity with the Korean people denouncing the U.S. and its followers for making frantic efforts to ignite a new war on the Korean peninsula on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War and the 75th founding anniversary of the DPRK.

An appeal to the peace-loving people of the world was adopted at the meeting.

The appeal said:

Peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia are being reliably defended by the DPRK with tremendous military muscle recognized by the world people.

We are convinced that the world progressive people will extend full support and solidarity to the cause of the Korean people dashing forward for building an ideal society of mankind, standing against the U.S. strategy for hegemony with the might of single-minded unity and capabilities for self-defence.
