RS Observes Anniversary of Kim Il Sung's Proposal for Founding DFRK

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

    Pyongyang, October 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today comes out with an article 25 years since President Kim Il Sung advanced the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo (DFRK). The proposal is a most just one for reunification as it calls for achieving national reunification by establishing a federal republic on the basis of recognizing and tolerating the ideologies and systems existing in the north and the south of Korea, the article says , and goes on;
    The President, with a scientific insight into the reality of Korea divided into the north and the south by foreign forces, considered federal formula as a great principle governing the efforts to reunify Korea and set forth the proposal for founding the DFRK on that principle.
    The above-said proposal is, above all, a just one as it fully meets the actual conditions of the north and the south of Korea.
    A hard nut to crack in achieving national reunification is that differing ideologies and systems exist in the north and the south and none of them is ready to abandon its ideology and system consolidated for a long period. Any attempt on the part of one side to achieve reunification on the basis of its ideology and system under this situation cannot but spark antagonism and clash and would only lead to prolonging the division. The proposal for federal formula for reunification is, therefore, a just and fair one as it makes it possible to protect and meet the interests of both sides. This offer is also in line with the interests of the countries concerned.
    A unified state to be set up in accordance with the proposal will pose no threat to the countries concerned as it will be a neutral state. The federal state will not only respect the foreign capital invested and concessions granted before the reunification but allow the regional governments to have bilateral relations with other countries. The north and the south of Korea agreed to work for achieving the peaceful reunification on the basis of the co-existence of the two systems at the historic Pyongyang meeting held in June, Juche 89 (2000) and proclaimed this to the world through the June 15 joint declaration. The struggle to reunify the country by federal formula has been placed on a new higher stage under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il.
