After the presentation of flowers, True Parent's aide Hyo Yool Kim read the address 'Let Us Inherit the Realm of True Parents’ Victory and Open a Future Filled with Hope'. According to True Mother, True Father is the mankind's ancestor of goodness, the eternal truth, and the owner of the Word. She also added that True Father is the one who completed the providence of restoration, the King of Peace, the King of Kings, and lastly by becoming the 'True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind', he perfected God's stature and for the first time on earth achieved the perfection that was envisioned at the time of the Creation. She then gave four directions to all members. First, we must absolutely value the tradition established by True Parents as much as we value our own lives, and pass this down to our descendants, the future generations. Second, we must complete the ideal of the blessed family with which Heaven has blessed us. Third, having all received the blessing of being tribal messiahs, we must work to fulfill that mission and responsibility until the time that Cheon Il Guk is completed on earth. Fourth, all of us must create a community based on the culture of heart characterized by harmony and unity, with True Parents and the True Family at the center. Based on the victory of Foundation Day, she gave us all a powerful mission to advance forward until we can all render utmost glory to True Father and bring complete hope to humanity and its history.

As the final order of the event, the Chairman of UPF-Korea Jeong Ro Yoon led the three cheers of Eok Mansei and the 'World Unification Church Leaders Special Meeting for Victory on Foundation Day' came to a conclusion.
True Father came on Earth as the savior, messiah, the Lord at his Second Coming and True Parent of Mankind. He dedicated his entire life on Earth for the liberation of God, the salvation of mankind, and the perfection of an ideal peaceful world and he has perfected, concluded, and concluded these providential goals and opened an era of transcendence, full immanence, full authority and omnipotence. Only after True Father completed all of his responsibilities and mission towards the providence of restoration and accomplished everything, did he ascend to the Spirit World. Now that True Father is in the spirit world, he will freely move back and forth between the spirit and physical world and lead the providence for the realization of Cheon Il Guk. In this special time, True Father will lead the providence from a position of complete unity with True Mother. Let us all set clear directions to follow, inherit True Parent's realm of victory and make determinations to take the lead in establishing Cheon Il Guk. Let us all render glory and show our gratitude to True Parent for giving us this precious opportunity to make new resolutions. Now is time for us to march forward.
