Implementation of inter-Korean joint declaration called for

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the 30th anniversary of President Kim Il Sung's work "Let us prevent a national partition and reunify the country." The early 1970s witnessed dialogue between the north and the south of Korea and the publication of the July 4 joint statement based on the three principles of national reunification. However, the anti-reunification forces in South Korea further strengthened the military fascist system at the instigation of outside forces, reducing the joint statement, which the north and the south pledged themselves to implement before the nation, to a dead document. They went to the lengths of declaring the "two Koreas" plot as a "policy." It was against this backdrop that Kim Il Sung published the historic work on June 23, Juche 62 (1973), in which he set forth the five-point policy of national reunification, the key to tiding over the difficulties laying in the way of carrying out the cause of national reunification and paving a wide avenue for the victory in the cause of national independence.
    The five-point policy calls for eliminating military confrontation, easing tension and bringing about multilateral collaboration and interchange between the north and south. it also calls for convening a great national congress composed of representatives of people of all walks of life, political parties and social organizations in the north and south, instituting a north-south federation under the name of a single country called Federal Republic of Koryo and urging the north and south to enter the united nations as a single state under the same nomenclature.
    The five-point policy serves as an immortal banner as it indicates concrete measures and ways to bring earlier the reunification of the country, reflecting the ardent desire and aspiration of all the Koreans for national reunification, and encourages them to struggle for their materialization, the article says, and goes on:
    The Korean people have struggled for national reunification in hearty response to the line and policies of national reunification clarified by the president including the three principles of national reunification--independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity-- and the five-point policy of national reunification. Their struggle has now reached a new higher stage where they are working to settle the issue of national reunification independently by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation.
    In order to bring about a new turn in the movement for the independent reunification of the country, true to the instructions of the president for national reunification, the Korean nation should thoroughly implement the June 15 Joint Declaration, a landmark for national reunification.
