Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, sent a message of greeting to Ho Jong Man, chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), on Feb. 22.

The message said:

The respected Comrade Ho Jong Man,

I extend warm congratulations on behalf of our state and all the people to you, Comrade Chairman, greeting your 90th birthday on the shining long road of love for the country and nation.

And I extend warm greetings to your wife Yun Yong Ja, who has so far supported and encouraged you with her pure mind and taken pains more than anyone else.

In every February when I am filled with intense yearning for General Kim Jong Il, I feel deeper longing to you, Comrade Chairman, whom the General valued and loved most.

You, Comrade Ho Jong Man, are a precious veteran of our revolution who has devoted heart and soul to the development of Chongryon with absolute loyalty to your leader and homeland for 70 years, true to the patriotic pledge you made in the days of forming Chongryon, and a standard-bearer of patriotism and pioneer of struggle who has fluttered the glorious flag of our Republic in the vanguard of the Juche-oriented movement of Koreans in Japan.

Thanks to the patriotic predecessors like you, Comrade Chairman, who have firmly defended and preserved Chongryon, part of the Republic, with transparent loyalty and strong faith in the harsh circumstances of the capitalist Japan, Chongryon could develop into an iconic organization to be eternally etched in the history of the world overseas compatriots' movement and into a renowned overseas compatriots' organization enjoying the absolute support and love of the compatriots.

The heroic life and distinguished feats of you, Comrade Chairman, that shine like a jewel in the history of the movement of Koreans in Japan proud with loyalty and patriotism will be recorded long in the history of the Korean revolution along with the powerful homeland.

I hope that you, Comrade Chairman, a witness to the Juche-oriented movement of Koreans in Japan and representative of the founding generation of Chongryon, would enjoy a long life in good health for the rosy future of Chongryon and for the prosperity of the compatriots' community and get all the glory along with the prosperous motherland.

I pay heartfelt tribute to the noble life of an ardent patriot and loyalist and genuine overseas revolutionary.
