Great National Unity Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) --The Korean nation-first spirit, indeed, serves as a banner of the great unity in the era of national independence and reunification as it lets all Koreans aspiring after national independence and patriotism firmly join the ranks for national reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article. It goes on:
    For Koreans living separated in the north and the south to achieve great unity irrespective of differing ideas and isms, there should be an idea for unity that can win sympathy of any members of the nation. This is the idea of national independence and patriotism set out by leader Kim Jong Il in the five-point policy of the great national unity.
    National independence is the idea reflecting the aspiration and demand common to the nation.
    The Korean nation was split against its will by foreign forces in the middle of the 20th century. It is bitter shame on the nation that the U.S. imperialists are allowed to behave in south Korea as a dominator, trampling underfoot the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean nation. It is the unanimous aspiration and will of the Korean nation to retake the dignity of the nation and demonstrate once again to the world the indomitable spirit as an independent people by putting a definite end to the U.S. domination and interference in south Korea.
    Patriotism is the idea which all the members of the nation can sympathize with and accept, irrespective of idea and social system.
    There are various differences as the Koreans in the north and the south have lived separated for more than half a century, but the commonness as a homogenous nation is much greater than them. Only when all Koreans display to the full patriotism enshrined in their hearts can they achieve great unity irrespective of all differences and settle any difficult issues related to national reunification by their concerted efforts.
    The Korean nation should fully materialize the idea of national independence and patriotism, the best idea common to the nation and an ideological and mental foundation of national unity. This means the Korean nation-first spirit.
    The article calls upon the whole nation to cherish deep the Korean nation-first spirit and further strengthen the great unity of the nation.
