Materialization of federal formula for reunification called for
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- The proposal for reunifying the country by federal formula is a just proposal for national reunification as it is in full accord with the reality and the Korean nation's desire to achieve the independent reunification of the country by its concerted efforts. This fully reflects the demands, interests, will and desire of the nation. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a by-lined article.
It goes on:
The proposal made by President Kim Il Sung makes it possible to reunify the country, not allowing the interests of different classes, strata and political groups in the north and the south to be infringed upon on condition that the differing ideologies and social systems are tolerated. This is because the proposal is an embodiment of the three principles of national reunification -- independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity -- which are the common programme of the nation for reunification.
The federal formula calls for achieving national reunification by way of establishing a unified national government under whose guidance the north and the south run autonomous governments.
If the country is reunified according to the proposal, Koreans will not need outsiders' interference and will be able to overcome any deviations in the process of reunification.
The function of the federal state is basically aimed to respect and protect the interests of the whole nation and a unified government is tasked to discuss and decide any common issues concerning the overall interests of the country and the nation and push ahead with the work to solve them and make positive efforts to realize unity and collaboration in all fields.
The federal formula for reunification presents itself as a more pressing issue now that the U.S. imperialists, displeased with promoting the cause of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation, are fostering division and confrontation between the north and the south and escalating the tensions to unleash a war.
All Koreans in the north, the south and overseas are struggling to achieve the independent reunification of the country, their supreme task.
Reunification means patriotism.
The 70 million Koreans who love the country and the nation will surely achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country in a few years to come, true to the guidance of leader Kim Jong Il to national reunification, in order to carry out the last instructions of Kim Il Sung for national reunification.
