Wang Zhu Yi was appointed Deputy Director of the Cooperation and Coordination Office (協力調整室) and later served as Director of the Liaison Department (連絡部長).
The association was led by Sun Ke (孫科) as Chairman, with Cho So-ang (趙素昻) and Kim Kyu-sik (金奎植) serving as Vice Chairmen. Wang Zhu Yi took on key roles such as board member and Deputy Secretary-General, actively promoting Sino-Korean solidarity and the anti-Japanese resistance movement.
