The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un sent a congratulatory message to Ho Jong Man, Chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), on January 1.
The message said:
Seeing in the new year 2026, I extend my warm congratulations and compatriotic greetings to you and all other officials of Chongryon, as well as to other Korean compatriots in Japan.
Last year Chongryon, together with the fellow people in the homeland, celebrated in splendour the 80th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea and the 80th anniversary of national liberation, and on the occasion of its 70th founding anniversary, it also made remarkable progress in writing another greater chapter of the history and tradition of the movement of Koreans in Japan, as it deeply cherished the ennobling spirit of patriotism and historic achievements of its founder generation.
I extend my heartfelt thanks and encouragement to Chongryon officials and other Korean compatriots in Japan for having left sacred imprints of patriotic efforts throughout the year while strenuously coping with innumerable challenges and ordeals in the foreign land.
The new year is a historic one when the Ninth Congress of our Party is to be held. For Chongryon, it is a year of a fresh turning point and transformation, in which it should, at its 26th Congress, advance a clear target and strategy for a new struggle period up to its 80th founding anniversary and take a vigorous step forward towards successfully implementing its patriotic tasks for the first year of the period.
I am fully convinced that Chongryon officials and other Korean compatriots in Japan will, in the new year, too, make substantial progress in carrying out their overall patriotic tasks, including those to be tackled in defending their rights and interests and in bringing up the younger generation, so as to write a glorious page which will shine forever in the history of the movement of Koreans in Japan.
I wish that in the hope-filled new year, our dear children and students in Japan will grow up to be lively, cheerful and upright, and all Chongryon officials and families of our compatriots live happily.
