Rodong Sinmun on Peaceful Reunification

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- It is one of the fundamental principles maintained by the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) in leading the cause of national reunification to reunify the country peacefully, Rodong Sinmun today stresses in a signed article. It goes on:
    The WPK consistently has opposed confrontation and war and called for peace and peaceful reunification in the settlement of the issue of national reunification and never allowed the war moves of the anti-reunification aggression forces at home and abroad to escalate the military confrontation and tension on the Korean Peninsula and has resolutely struggled against them under the uplifted banner of peace and peaceful reunification against war. The principled stand of the WPK toward peaceful reunification is clarified in the three principles of national reunification set forth by President Kim Il Sung. This principle of peaceful national reunification has been invariably maintained by leader Kim Jong Il.
    Kim Jong Il in his famous work "Let Us Carry Out the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung's Instructions for National Reunification" reclarified that differences of ideology and system between the north and the south of Korea cannot be removed by force and that peaceful reunification is the WPK's principled stand and unchanged line. In the light of the urgent demand of the Korean nation for peace and peaceful reunification and the realistic conditions in which the different ideologies and systems exist in the north and the south, the best way of realizing national reunification in a peaceful way is to establish a national unified state of federal formula based on one nation and one state, two systems and two governments.
    It is the verification of the vitality, scientific accuracy and realistic character of a proposal for reunification of federal formula to have agreed in the historic June 15 joint declaration to go toward reunification in the direction of keeping the commonness of the north-proposed low-level federation and the south-proposed commonwealth.
    The WPK's revolutionary will to prevent the danger of aggression and war and defend peace in the Korean Peninsula is represented by the Songun politics.
    The Songun politics of the WPK is the politics of defending peace which deters a war in the Korean Peninsula and guarantees the peace of the country and the dignity and security of the whole nation and the treasured sword of justice which mercilessly punishes those aggressors who infringe upon the sovereignty and vital rights of the nation.
