Great Unity of Whole Nation Called for

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- The great unity of the whole nation provides a basic guarantee for accomplishing the cause of national reunification, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article in the run-up to the grand festival of national reunification to be jointly held in Pyongyang by Koreans in the north and the south and abroad on August 15. Rejoining the severed ties of the nation and establishing sovereignty throughout the country precisely means the reunification of the country and the great national unity, the article notes, and goes on:
    Now that the nation stands at the crossroads of a war or peace it is necessary for all Koreans to firmly unite under the banner of "by our nation itself" and demonstrate the might and spirit of the Korean nation, a homogeneous one.
    "By our nation itself", the core of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, serves as a banner of great unity. The history of the reunification movement of the Korean nation proves that only when all Koreans unite under the banner of "by our nation itself" can they eventually achieve reunification.
    The joint declaration should be implemented to protect the sovereignty and dignity of the nation and achieve its grandeur and prosperity. The implementation of the joint declaration would guarantee national interests and the prosperity of the nation.
    Those who do not want the reconciliation and unity of the nation are only the group of the Grand National Party and right-wing conservative forces in south Korea, a small force estranged from the people. In order to achieve great national unity it is necessary to thoroughly isolate and reject the group of traitors opposed to reunification so that they may not claim any longer to be part of the nation. When the might of the nation will grow stronger, anti-reunification forces at home and abroad become impotent.
    Leader Kim Jong Il, the sun of the nation and the lodestar of national reunification, is the center of the great unity of our nation. The great national unity will be achieved when all Koreans ardently follow him.
