Adherence to Three Principles of National Reunification Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- The cause of national reunification is now advancing along the way indicated by the June 15 joint declaration because the three principles of national reunification --independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity-- serve as an immortal banner indicating a clear way of accomplishing the cause of independent reunification. Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The principle of independence is the basic one of reunification as it calls for solving the issue of national reunification strictly from the viewpoint and stand of national independence.
    The Korean nation was divided by outside forces and it is still undergoing sufferings resulting from this division due to them. Koreans will never achieve national reunification should they allow outside forces to interfere in their affairs, who persist in their desperate moves against reunification in a bid to perpetuate the division of the Korean nation. In order to achieve the reunification of the country its people should strongly oppose and reject outside forces' interference in the issue of reunification from the steadfast independent stand of the nation and realize national cooperation through their concerted efforts.
    The principle of peaceful reunification calls for achieving the peaceful reunification of the country through dialogue and negotiations, reconciliation and cooperation without recourse to arms.
    There are differing ideologies and systems in the north and south of Korea.
    However, they do not create any conditions for using force of arms. National reunification can surely be achieved peacefully through dialogue and negotiations in spite of differing ideologies and systems.
    Achieving reunification by federal formula is the best way for peaceful reunification.
    The principle of great national unity calls on all Koreans to achieve independent and peaceful reunification of the country by their concerted efforts, united close under the banner of national unity.
    Reunification is sure to come when the north and the south achieve unity and all Koreans at home and abroad get united.
    In order to achieve great national unity, the Koreans should place the common interests of the nation above anything else, transcending difference in the ideology and system, and unite on this basis. The Koreans who have ardent patriotism and desire for reunification are quite capable of achieving great national unity despite the differing ideologies and systems.
