The respected Marshal Kim Jong Un received a congratulatory letter from the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) on April 15.
The letter paid the highest tribute to the great leader Generalissimo Kim Il Sung, who built a socialist state independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence, in reflection of the deep reverence of all Chongryon officials and other Koreans in Japan on the occasion of the significant April holiday and extended the greatest glory and warmest congratulations to the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who indicated the path of victory to be followed by the DPRK at a new stage of the overall development of socialism and the perfect action programmes and is leading the struggle for their realization.
It said that the fatherly leader Kim Il Sung was the eternal leader of the Korean people as he built socialist Korea centred on the masses of the people for the first time in history and provided an eternal cornerstone for the victorious advance and accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche.
It is the highest honour and pride of the Korean people, including those in Japan, and happiness of all generations to come to hold in high esteem the great Generalissimo Kim Il Sung revered by the whole world as the eternal leader, the letter said.
The cause of building a dignified socialist power and the patriotic cause of Chongryon pioneered and led by the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are now making steady changes and development and advancing victoriously under the wise leadership of the respected Marshal, it said, and went on:
We will cherish deep in mind the great trust and expectations of the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un and fully discharge the honourable responsibility and duty we have assumed in further promoting the overall development of the movement of Koreans in Japan by firmly grasping and thoroughly applying the main idea and main spirit of the Ninth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
The letter wished the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, the destiny and future of the Korean people, good health for the new victory in the cause of building a powerful socialist country and the patriotic cause of Chongryon.
