Adherence to Independent Stand Called for

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

    Pyongyang, July 22 (KCNA) -- A bright prospect will open for the development of the inter-Korean relations and the national reunification only when the Koreans firmly maintain the independent stand on solving all the issues by depending on themselves, while placing the common interests of the nation above anything else. Rodong Sinmun today observes this in a signed article.
    It says:
    In the efforts to develop the inter-Korean relations and solve the issue of the country's reunification the Koreans should not allow the foreign domination and interference under any circumstances but firmly maintain the stand to solve everything by their own efforts in their own interests.
    As the six decade-long history of national division shows, the U.S. has left no means untried to deter the inter-Korean relations from improving and block the national reunification, seized by its ambition to keep the Korean nation divided forever and dominate it. Flunkeyism and dependence on outside forces would only lead to allowing foreign aggressor forces to meddle in the internal affairs of the Korean nation and make it impossible to settle the issue of the country's reunification.
    An independent stand can remain unshakable only when one is confident of the advantages and capability of the Korean nation.
    The north and the south should preserve the present trend and atmosphere of the improving relations, tide over the complicated and serious situation and difficulties with their own wisdom and efforts and wage a dynamic struggle to achieve national reconciliation, cooperation and reunification.
