Adherence to Principle of National Independence in Nat'l Reunification Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation's struggle for achieving national reunification is, in essence, the struggle to retake the sovereignty of the nation that was trampled down by foreign forces and realize national independence all over the country. The Korean people's cause of national reunification is a matter of the Korean nation itself and an issue related to the sovereignty of the nation in which any outsider should and can not intervene. Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a signed article.
    Noting that the principle of national independence is a basic principle of carving out the destiny of the nation all the Koreans should invariably hold fast to and thoroughly apply in the struggle for national reunification, the article goes on:
    The Korean nation should hold fast to the principle of national independence that helps achieve the country's reunification with their own efforts as a master according to their independent will and demand.
    If the reunification of the country is to be achieved on the principle of national independence, all the members of the nation should firmly arm themselves with the consciousness of national independence and oppose and reject flunkeyism and the idea of dependence on foreign forces.
    The consciousness of national independence is the ideological might that makes the nation strong and helps all its members fulfill their role as the master of reunification, but flunkeyism and the idea of dependence upon outsiders are an ideological poison that makes a nation servile and impotent and is seriously harmful to reunification.
    Only when all the fellow countrymen have the transparent spirit of national independence and thoroughly reject flunkeyism and dependence on outside forces can the Korean nation accomplish the cause of national reunification in conformity with the will and interests of the nation.
    To train the stout driving force of the nation is one of important ways to solve the issue of national reunification on the principle of national independence.
    The idea and line on the principle of national independence set forth by leader Kim Jong Il is the most just idea and line representing the fundamental interests, demand, unanimous desire and aspiration of the Korean nation. All the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas should invariably hold fast to his idea and policy of reunification with national independence and push forward the movement for national independence and reunification, the article concludes.
