True Consciousness of Being Same Nation Called for

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

   Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation should make the true consciousness of being the same nation laid down in the June 15 joint declaration the basis of the development of north-south relations, if it is to spur the inter-Korean relations and the movement for national reunification which are developing in the spirit of the joint slogans, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article. The true consciousness of being the same nation provides a master key to solving all issues in the interests of the Korean nation while giving priority to the fellow countrymen, the article says, and goes on:
    This consciousness calls for putting the interests of the fellow countrymen above those of outsiders and it serves as a mental factor in channeling the intention and strength of the nation to the struggle to defend the interests of the nation.
    If the Korean nation fails to stand against the outsiders with this consciousness in the struggle for reunification, it would be impossible for it to maintain even its existence when its country remains divided and it faces outsiders' separatists' moves of aggression. The consciousness of being the same nation is a mental strength and basis of unity and this makes the Korean nation stronger.
    A main cure in resourcefully solving the inter-Korean relations that have got entangled and twisted due to outsiders is to have the consciousness of being the same nation and behave with the stand and mode of thinking of standing by the fellow countrymen.
    The true consciousness of being the same nation serves as a motive force promoting north-south reconciliation and unity and advancing the cause of reunification by the strength of compatriotism.
    This consciousness encourages all the members of the nation to contribute to the cause of reunification with patriotic zeal by putting the sentiments of love for the nation above all and thus overcome the differences in views on that basis, being fellow countrymen of one nation despite differing ideas and isms.
    The true consciousness of being the same nation also calls for attaching importance to the fellow countrymen of same blood, not to outside forces, and cooperate with the compatriots and view and approach the issue of the nation's destiny from national viewpoint and stand.
    All the fellow countrymen in the north and the south and abroad should fully display the true consciousness of being the same nation from the national stand, spur the improvement of the inter-Korean relations and dynamically advance the June 15 era of reunification, no matter how desperately the outsiders may try to block reunification and launch aggression.
