All Koreans Called Upon to Pool Efforts to Force U.S. Forces to Withdraw from S. Korea

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- Papers Tuesday dedicate editorials to the fourth anniversary of the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration. Rodong Sinmun says that the Pyongyang meeting and the adoption of the joint declaration, the first of its kind in the history of national division spanning more than half a century, marked great events in the history of the nation as they instilled into the 70 million Koreans hope and conviction of independent reunification and made the whole of Korea seethe with the joy at those events for reunification.
    The Korean nation is faced with weighty tasks to check the moves of outsiders and anti-reunification forces, protect the sovereignty of the nation and peace of the country and firmly uphold and implement the historic north-south joint declaration so as to open a decisive phase for independent reunification, it notes, and goes on:
    The idea of "By our nation itself" and the spirit of national independence are the keynote of the Pyongyang meeting and the joint declaration. The joint declaration invariably serves as a landmark for national reunification and an immortal programme of independent reunification as it calls for solving the issue of the country's reunification independently by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation responsible for it.
    National cooperation means patriotism and cooperation with outsiders treachery and division. National cooperation alone makes it possible to force the U.S. forces to withdraw from south Korea and successfully implement the joint declaration.
    Most ardent patriotism can be manifested in the struggle for national reunification at present. Those who remain indifferent to or a passive onlooker to the struggle for national reunification will be condemned by the nation for all ages.
    All the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas should positively support and uphold the great Songun politics which protects the destiny and future of the nation and guarantees the implementation of the joint declaration.
    The south Korean authorities should not read the outsiders' faces but adhere to the principle of independence as regards the issue of reunification. Toeing the foreign line means violation of the joint declaration and challenge to the desire of all the Koreans for reunification.
    It is necessary to give momentum to reconciliation and cooperation between the north and the south.
    Stance and attitude toward the joint declaration and national cooperation based on our-nation first spirit are a touchstone distinguishing between patriotism and treachery.
    Minju Joson in an editorial says victory is certain for the Korean nation as it has the great Songun politics, strong will to live independently and the joint declaration, a landmark for unity and reunification.
