Patriotic programme for national reunification

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- July 4 is the 31st anniversary of the publication of the North-South Joint Statement. Its main contents are the three principles of national reunification--independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity--provided by President Kim Il Sung.
    It is a patriotic programme reflecting the ardent aspiration and desire of the entire Korean nation for the reunification of the country and serves as a landmark indicating the most correct way for the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
    The joint statement is guidelines common to the Korean nation in solving the reunification issue in an independent and peaceful way and in accordance with their will and interests.
    Its publication was an epochal event which dealt a heavy blow to the anti-reunification flunkeyist and bellicose forces at home and abroad and brought a bright future of reunification to the entire Korean nation.
    The president also put forward the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo and the 10-point programme of the great unity of the whole nation in the 1980s and 1990s on the basis the three principles of national reunification.
    The president's ideas and policies for national reunification are now being successfully implemented by leader Kim Jong Il.
    It is well illustrated by the fact that a north-south summit meeting was held in Pyongyang in June 2000 for the first time since the division of the country and the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration made public.
    Over the past three years since the publication of the joint declaration, talks have been held in political, economic, cultural, sports and other fields, and cooperation and interchange realized between the north and the south of Korea so as to promote the great unity of the nation and the reunification of the country.
    All this proves that when the Korean people unite and cooperate with each other, transcending the differences in ideology, social system, political view and religious belief, they can achieve the country's reunification and prosperity with their own efforts.
