Anniversary of July 4 Joint Statement observed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- Papers today dedicate articles to the 31st anniversary of the publication of the historic July 4 Joint Statement in which President Kim Il Sung clarified the three principles of national reunification. His clarification is an event of national history which provided the Korean nation with a great program for reunification common to the nation and brought about a fundamental turn in the movement for reunification, say the articles. A signed article of Rodong Sinmun notes that the three principles of national reunification -- independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity -- are a cornerstone of national reunification which indicates the fundamental stand and way of settling the issue of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation in the interests of the nation.
    It goes on:
    The three principles are the charter for reunification the fellow countrymen should constantly hold fast to in the struggle for national reunification and clearly indicate the fundamental stand and way to accomplish the cause of reunification.
    The principles are, indeed, a highly important guideline of national reunification and an immovable charter of reunification that the Korean nation should invariably maintain.
    Leader Kim Jong Il has applied the three principles of national reunification advanced by the president to the cause of reunification.
    The three principles are embodied in the June 15 Joint Declaration, a landmark for national reunification in the new century, which is associated with the steadfast faith and will of Kim Jong Il to accomplish the cause of reunification in the idea of the president.
    Minju Joson in a signed article says: no force can block the movement for independent reunification of the Korean nation vigorously advancing on the three principles of national reunification and under the banner of the June 15 Joint Declaration, the proposal for reunification common to the nation based on them.
