Pyongyang, March 16 (KCNA) -- The participants in the meeting of the executive committee of the International Liaison Committee for Reunification and Peace in Korea in Paris on March 8 decided to set this year as a "year of international solidarity for the independent reunification of Korea" and called for actively conducting the solidarity movement for the purpose of further increasing the international support and solidarity movement for the independent reunification of the Korean people and making the period from June to September a period for such positive activities.
This call was carried in an appeal to the governments, political parties and public organizations in all countries and international organizations which was adopted at the meeting.
The appeal noted:
The participants in the meeting were unanimous in expressing great satisfaction over the achievements made in the process of reconciliation, cooperation and reunification between the north and the south of Korea and estimated that they proved the historical significance, validity and great vitality of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and showed that Korea can be reunified by the Korean nation itself free from outside forces' interference.
The participants in the meeting expressed the expectation that the governments, political parties and public organizations in all countries and international organizations would pay due attention to the grave situation on the Koran Peninsula which is getting extremely tense owing to the U.S. hostile hard-line toward the DPRK, positively support the implementation of the north-south joint declaration and make active efforts to get the U.S. troops withdrawn from South Korea and put an end to the U.S. interference in the internal affairs of Korea.
The participants in the meeting ardently call upon all the forces of the world loving independence and peace to take steps to actively encourage the Korean people in their cause to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country and realize the independent reunification of the country.
