Preservation of national identity called for
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- Now that the whole nation is going in for reunification, the national identity has become a strong ideological and moral basis of steering the era of national independence and reunification.
Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
It goes on:
The Korean nation was divided by foreign forces against its will. Failure to underscore and preserve the national identity would make the nation heterogenous and put it in the danger of living separated forever as two different nations.
For the divided Korean nation, reunification of the country precisely means achieving independence and a struggle for independence would be unthinkable without efforts to preserve the national identity.
National identity is an ideological and moral weapon to encourage the whole nation to turn out in the struggle for the reunification of the country irrespective of interests of classes and strata.
The United States, displeased with the efforts of the Koreans to implement the June 15 Joint Declaration, is frantically escalating its moves to start a nuclear war in a bid to hamstring its implementation at any cost.
Only when the national identity is underscored under this situation is it possible to frustrate the U.S. ambition to invade the DPRK and promote the process of national reconciliation and unity by the concerted efforts of the nation.
If main emphasis is not put on the national identity under the present serious situation the nation will get disunited and fall victim to the U.S. ambition for domination.
