Rodong Sinmun on Our-Nation-First Idea

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- Our-nation-first idea is an ever-victorious weapon on which the Korean nation should keep a tight hold in its struggle to achieve national reunification by its own efforts, rebuffing flunkeyism and dependence on outside forces, declares Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Tuesday. It goes on: Our-nation-first idea is a solid ideological foundation for accomplishing the cause of independent national reunification. It is the source of patriotism instilled into the hearts of all the fellow countrymen.
    This idea is immediately the patriotic spirit of zealously pushing the rare superiority of the nation to the foreground and giving full play to it. It is, indeed, a powerful ideological weapon to bring earlier independent national reunification with ardent passion of patriotism.
    Our-nation-first idea is the banner of cohesion closely uniting all the fellow countrymen in the north, the south and overseas under the banner of patriotism.
    There should be an idea of cohesion to which all the members of the nation respond and which they follow, if great national unity is to be achieved.
    The patriotic spirit of the Korean nation and national temperament peculiar to it should be made the ideological foundation of great unity, if the north and the south with differing idea and ideology are to get reconciled to each other and all the members of the nation differing in ism and political view are to be united into one.
    The attraction and vitality of our-nation-first idea as the banner of great national unity are convincingly proved by the reality today when all the organizations of the reunification movement and public figures of all circles in the north, the south and overseas are invigorating national cooperation and actively promoting the cause of great national unity and independent national reunification in the spirit of "By our nation itself."
    There can be no Gordian knot that cannot be cut on the way to independent national reunification when they are armed with this idea.
