Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration is a signal post of hope for the Korean nation as it indicated a wide avenue for the Koreans whose life was full of twists and turns in last century to carve out their destiny by themselves. Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article. The article goes on:
    The U.S. aggression and high-handed practices are rampant in the world and the dark clouds of a war are gathering to hang over the Korean peninsula hour by hour owing to the U.S. imperialists, but the Korean nation is paving the way for reunification thanks to the joint declaration.
    The road of national independence the nation is taking under the banner of the joint declaration leads to peaceful reunification.
    Originally the issue of Korea's reunification did not surface owing to the contradictions among Koreans but was forced upon them by foreign forces.
    There is no ground for Koreans to fight each other over the issue of reunification.
    The U.S. keen to dominate all the Koreans is to blame for the military confrontation and escalating tension on the Korean peninsula. National independence is the best option for saving the destiny of the Korean nation and a prerequisite to the peaceful reunification.
    The joint declaration calls for achieving reunification by federal formula, a goal to be attained by the Koreans themselves, opening a bright prospect of the peaceful reunification.
    The declaration underscores the need to work hard to achieve reunification by preserving the common points in the reunification proposals put forward by the north and the south to meet the nation's requirements and interests.
    It also makes it clear that the north and the south should develop national economy in a balanced manner through the economic cooperation between them and realize cooperation and exchange in all social fields to promote the bilateral confidence.
    From a realistic point of view achieving reunification by federal formula is the only way for the nation to solve the issue of the reunification of the country most smoothly and peacefully.
    In order to defend the peace of the country and the security of the nation all Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should unanimously support and uphold the Songun politics aimed to protect the destiny of the nation, the article concludes.
