Rodong Sinmun on Our Nation-First Spirit

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in an article underscores the need to definitely realize national cooperation to accomplish the cause of the country's reunification, saying our nation-first spirit here serves as a mighty ideological and moral weapon.
    The article says:
    The slogan "Let us pave a wide avenue for independent reunification through national cooperation under the banner of our nation-first spirit!" which was set forth in the joint New Year editorial of the papers of the Party, the army and the youth league is a judicious one reflecting the nation's desire and realistic demand.
    Our nation-first spirit is a mental source whereby to tighten the blood ties of the nation and inspire its self-respect so that our nation can take a concerted action in achieving the cause of reunification and approach all the matters in view of its interests.
    The primary issue in realizing national cooperation is to unify the desire and will of the nation divided by outside forces for over half a century.
    The Korean nation has created and developed brilliant culture and excellent traditions for 50 centuries with indomitable spirit of independence, brave disposition, extraordinary wisdom and talent, rich emotion and noble morality. All the compatriots should wage a persistent and strenuous patriotic struggle for reunification with the conviction that the history of our nation was and is proud and will shine more brilliantly tomorrow.
    Our nation-first spirit serves as an ideological and moral foundation for the nation to join efforts in solving the issue of reunification with the stance and posture that our nation is the best in the world. It is most essential today for all the members of the nation to give priority to the nation and pool efforts of the nation from the stance that their nation is the best. The issue of reunification can be solved in conformity with the will and interests of the nation only when we give priority to the nation and rely on its strength.
    Our nation-first spirit, which boosts pride in being the Korean nation and braces up national self-respect, is a powerful weapon helping vigorously advance the movement for the country's reunification with bolstered national cooperation.
