You, considerate of the huge damage Koreans in Japan suffered from the killer earthquake and ensuing tsunami, sent relief fund of 500,000 U.S. dollars to disaster-stricken compatriots.

The Chongryon Central Standing Committee, reflecting the profound reverence and loyalty of all the officials of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan for you, extends the most heart-felt thanks to you for relieving compatriots of their quake damage and imbuing them with courage and strength of rebirth.

Moved to tears by the boundless solicitude you have shown by sending the fabulous amount of relief fund to Chongryon organizations and compatriots in the afflicted areas, all the Chongryon officials and Koreans in Japan re-hardened their will to remain loyal to you to the last.

The Chongryon Central Standing Committee will bear deep in mind your noble intention and more dynamically conduct the all-Korean activities of aiding the afflicted compatriots in an organizational way and thus demonstrate the might of Chongryon, an overseas organization of the DPRK, and achieve the unity of the compatriots community.

You are the sun of mankind and symbol of the victory of a thriving socialist nation and the benevolent father of Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan. The Committee wholeheartedly wishes you good health, reflecting the intense loyalty of Chongryon officials and Koreans in Japan.
