In conclusion, there are two things to say; the management course opened 
today is attended by members who are discharging basic duties of the 
association and the advanced management course by executives who are 
discharging leadership duties at various levels; as patriotic youths 
discharging the duties of the association and national duties, trainees need 
to learn subjects taught at the courses; it is needed for all to study hard 
so as to know national political outlook, organizational outlook and security 
outlook; the second thing is morale; it is the time when efforts are being 
made to build the nation composed of national races, into a peaceful, modern 
and developed one; everybody is to have conviction that this end is to be 
achieved through nationalist spirit and Union spirit; they also have to have 
determination to march toward the goal, boldly facing any kinds of subversive 
activities and aggression; nationalistic spirit and Union spirit have the 
power to safeguard the nation and they are also powerful forces which can 
prevent destructive and bullying acts and aggression.
    
After the ceremony, the Senior General had a cordial meeting with the 
trainees, and then had lunch together with them.
