KCNA
Pyongyang, May 21 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation itself is the master of the movement for national reunification, a supreme national task, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
All the fellow countrymen should take their shares in the struggle to implement the historic June 15 Joint Declaration and reunify the country, which is the secret of achieving independent reunification by our nation itself, the paper says, and goes on:
The Korean nation should have a firm independent stand and viewpoint to solve the issue of national reunification with its concerted efforts if it is to fulfill its responsibility and role as the master in the implementation of the joint declaration.
As the implementation of the joint declaration is accompanied by challenges of the foreign forces, many difficult and complicated problems may arise. This is why the Korean nation should firmly maintain the independent stand of resolving any problems by the concerted efforts of the nation itself according to its own decision without dependence on any foreign forces.
Our nation should be concerned about its destiny, value its interests and settle the issue of the country's reunification by its own efforts in conformity with its demand and aspiration, believing in its strength.
All the Koreans in the north, south and abroad should pool their intention and mind for the implementation of the joint declaration and further strengthen national unity in practice.
The whole nation should implement the joint declaration to the last, firmly defending it from all sorts of challenges of foreign forces seeking to stamp out its spirit and obstruct its implementation.
