Rodong Sinmun Calls for Vigorous Struggle for National Reunification

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today calls for waging a vigorous struggle to defend peace of the country and open up a turning phase in the movement for national reunification by the efforts of our nation itself this year. A joint editorial of the newspapers of the Party, the army and the youth league published on the New Year set forth militant tasks to settle the schema of the nation's confrontation with the U.S. on the Korean peninsula by practical actions and open up a new turning phase in the movement for national reunification and hold aloft the banner of Korean nation-first spirit to this end.
    Stressing that the Korean nation should take practical actions to settle by all means the schema of the Korean nation's confrontation with the U.S. on the Korean peninsula this year, the signed article of the paper says: Herein lies the guarantee for ensuring peace in the country and opening up a turning phase in the movement for national reunification.
    It continues:
    All the Koreans in the north, south and aboard should proudly uphold the Korean nation-first spirit and push forward the movement for reunification as befitting the nation that has recorded a history spanning 5,000 years as a homogenous nation in one and the same territory since Tangun reigned this land.
    All the members of the nation should deeply cherish the pride of being a member of the Korean nation and give full play to national self-esteem in solving the peace and reunification issues of the country. All the fellow countrymen should determinedly oppose the arrogant interference and arbitrariness, pressure and strong-arm practices of the United States, as becomes the dignified Korean nation.
    They should bolster national cooperation to the highest degree, come what may, this year, true to the calls of the joint editorial.
    The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration is a reunification program and landmark common to the nation which all the Koreans should uphold till the day of the country's reunification. The implementation of the joint declaration would guarantee the reunification of the country and the future of the nation.
