Ri Hwa U, deputy head of the delegation of Koreans in Japan, said that it was a great honor to take part in the conference.

Mt. Paektu is symbolic of the Korean revolution, Ri said, adding:

The President embarked on the road of revolution in his early teens with the firm will never to return home unless he liberated the country.

The undying feats he performed for national liberation will shine long.

Ri Su Nam, member of the delegation, said the Korean nation has not achieved the national reunification due to the anti-reunification forces' moves.

I will do my best to bring earlier the day of national reunification, he stressed.

I took part in the grand celebrations for the 70th anniversary of national liberation, and it seems to me that the morning of reunification dawns, said Ri Hye Yong, member of a delegation of the General Association of Koreans in China.

Though we live in overseas, we will strive for national reunification, she added.
