Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- At least 200 members of social organizations such as the reunification solidarity of South Korea held a "national independence rally demanding U.S. drop a hostile policy toward the north, opposing South Korea-U.S. Alliance for Cooperation in War and urging a stop to pressurizing South Korea to open its economy" in Jongmyo park, Seoul on May 10.
Kim Kyu Chol, vice-chairman of the south headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification, said at the rally that cooperation between South Korea and the United States means going back to the past era of the Cold War. He called on the north and the south to realize national cooperation without fail as the publication of the June 15 Joint Declaration helped them realize that the Koreans are of the same nation.
Jong Tae Yon, chief in charge of policy of the reunification solidarity, accused the authorities of their wrong decision to defer the revision of sofa under the pretext of "giving priority to the settlement of the nuclear issue of the north" and dispatch troops to the Iraqi war.
A resolution was read out at the rally.
Noting that without sovereignty there would be neither peace nor people's right to existence, the resolution called on the authorities to reject the U.S. hostile policy towards the north and opt for peace on the Korean Peninsula from a firm stand of national cooperation.
