Clear Expression of Patriotic Will and Magnanimity

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- The DPRK which values the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration decided to send its players team and supporters group to Taegu, the venue of the 22nd Universiad, prompted by the desire to boost inter-Korean relations and realize national cooperation in the basic spirit of the declaration, says Rodong Sinmun today in a commentary. The news analyst further says:
    This is a manifestation of the DPRK's warm patriotic will to achieve reconciliation and unity between compatriots in the north and the south and independent reunification.
    The group of the Grand National Party and other ultra-right conservatives held what they called "August 15 people's rally" in the plaza of the Seoul City Office to kick up a frantic anti-DPRK racket.
    As regards the never-to-be-condoned anti-DPRK rowdyism, the north called the south Korean authorities to account for this and urged them to make an apology and take a measure to prevent the recurrence of similar incident and made clear its stand to strictly deal with the travels of people of the north to a dangerous place where the security and dignity of the fellow countrymen are violated in broad daylight and the issue of sending the players and supporters groups to the Universiad due in Taegu for the present.
    National cooperation is the current of the national history.
    The players and supporters groups' participation in the Taegu Universiad proves that no desperate efforts of the anti-reunification forces in south Korea can ever stem the current of the national history toward the reunification of the north and the south of Korea.
    All the Koreans and humankind will see the north and south Koreans working hard together for reconciliation, cooperation and reunification in Taegu instead of competing with each other for victory as they did in Pusan last year.
