At the ceremony, the association asserted, "It is extremely shameless for Japan to claim 'Takeshima' based on fabricated maps, even though Dokdo has clearly been our territory since the 6th century. Japan's ambition to invade Dokdo, which has been under our country's effective control for 1,511 years, deserves condemnation from the international community."

They also expressed, "We share the anger of the entire nation over the registration of Hashima Island, the site of forced labor for our ancestors, as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and we urge Japan to reflect on this. Furthermore, we strongly denounce Japan's attempt to revise its militaristic war constitution, which suppressed our people for 36 years and led to the outbreak of the Pacific War," reaffirming their commitment.
