Korean Nation-First Spirit Is Invincible Banner of Reunification and Prosperity

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation-first spirit is the cornerstone on which it can legitimately exercise its sovereignty, says Rodong Sinmun Friday in a signed article. It goes on:
    The distress and disgrace our nation has suffered during the 40-odd year long Japanese imperialists' colonial rule and the U.S. forces' occupation of south Korea for 59 years call on all the Koreans to build up sovereignty of the nation at an early date and achieve reunification and prosperity by fighting in unity in our nation-first spirit.
    The spirit is the banner of defense of the nation enabling it to guard its destiny on its own.
    Our national character has been inherited all along for more than five thousand years by driving back the aggression of all outside forces. There will be no more grave crime and shame than allowing it to be trampled underfoot by the United States, the empire of evil.
    Our nation-first spirit is the very source of the strength that helps our fellow countrymen defend peace and security of the country from the U.S. imperialists' aggression and interference and guard the destiny of the nation.
    Matchless is the united strength of the 70 million fellow countrymen in fighting with the confidence that our nation is not inferior to anyone and the will to enhance the honor and pride of the country with a history spanning 50 centuries. When all the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas hold ever higher the banner of our nation-first spirit, no aggression forces boasting of their "mightiness" would dare trifle with the destiny of our nation and it would defend its destiny on its own and display its honor and dignity to the full.
    The key to achieving the reunification of the country at an early date in compliance with the demand and interests of the nation lies in holding aloft the banner of our-nation first spirit.
    All the Koreans will powerfully demonstrate the dignity and grand sight of the nation with a time-honored and admirable history and surely build an independent and reunified great prosperous powerful country on this land by holding high the banner of our nation-first spirit, the everlasting lifeline of the country and the nation.
