Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from S. Korea Demanded

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- As all the countries and nations desire independence, peace and social progress, the withdrawal of the U.S. troops from south Korea has become a demand of the era and the nation and a bounden duty of the United States, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
    The U.S. imperialist aggression force's presence in south Korea is a product of the U.S. aggressive policy toward Korea and a leftover of the era of the Cold War and the present era no longer allows this presence.
    The historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration serves as a milestone of national reunification in the 21st century as it put an end to the north-south relations of antagonism and confrontation and opened a new chapter of national alliance and cooperation. The core of the joint declaration is to settle the issue of reunification by the concerted efforts of our nation.
    And the main spirit of the declaration is "By our nation itself".
    Our nation is bringing about a stirring reality in the course of joining efforts in this spirit. Koreans from all walks of life are taking the road of reunification and patriotism. Air and sea routes and land transport are used for exchange and cooperation between them while the blood ties of the nation are being rejoined. The whole world is supporting and hailing our nation's ties of reconciliation, cooperation and unity.
    It is only the United States that is working hard to stem the trend of the times. Not pleased with the joint declaration, the U.S. is obstructing its implementation by every possible means.
    The U.S. moves are unanimously denounced by the Koreans as they go against the times, history and their desire. No Korean would allow the U.S. domination and interference in his country. There is no reason for the U.S. troops to remain in south Korea now that the north and south are working hard to achieve independent reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation.
