Adherence to idea of independent national reunification called for
KCNA
Pyongyang, February 13 (KCNA) -- The idea of independent reunification represents national independence and genuine patriotism as it calls upon the Korean nation to solve the issue of country's reunification by the efforts of the nation itself in a responsible manner to meet the nation's requirements for independence and its interests, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
It says:
The idea clarifies that it is none other than the Korean nation who is responsible for national reunification and capable of achieving it as it clearly explains the cause of the country's division, the requirements and interests of the nation, the essence and nature of the issue of national reunification and the specific conditions of the country.
It is the most just idea of national reunification as it is based on the immortal Juche idea that man is the master of one's destiny and is capable of carving out it.
Kim Jong Il formulated the three principles of national reunification, the 10-point programme for the great unity of the entire nation and the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo set out by President Kim Il Sung as three charters of national reunification and set forth a five-point policy of great national unity. This is an undying ideological and theoretical exploit performed by him in embodying the idea of independent reunification.
Kim Jong Il's idea of independent national reunification enabled the Korean nation to emerge a nation fully capable of solving the issue of national reunification by itself and brought about a great era, a stirring reality.
The historic Pyongyang summit meeting, the first of its kind in the history of national division that has lasted for more than half a century, took place and the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration was adopted. This was a great national event, a result of the great idea of independent national reunification.
This historic meeting and the publication of the declaration ushered in a new era of independent national reunification in which the Koreans work hard to achieve unity and for reunification by themselves.
The cause of national reunification is sure to be accomplished as there is the great idea of independent national reunification whose validity and vitality are fully proved despite the ordeals of history.
