Rodong Sinmun on WPK's Cause of National Reunification

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

    Pyongyang, October 7 (KCNA) -- The Workers' Party of Korea has covered the victorious course of the cause of national reunification, invariably holding high the banner of independence symbolic of victory and dignity, which is shining as the undying feats in the national history. Rodong Sinmun says this in a signed article today. Over the last six decades the WPK has struggled, holding fast to the Juche idea as the ideological and theoretical, strategic and tactical guidelines for national reunification, the article notes, and goes on:
    President Kim Il Sung pioneered and led the Korean revolution under the banner of Juche and had firmly maintained the principle of independence, putting it forward as supreme uncompromising one in the whole historical period of his leadership over the cause of national reunification.
    The idea of national reunification put forward and consistently maintained by him is the steadfast idea of national independence, the idea of independent reunification on settling the issue of national reunification by the Korean nation itself with the stand of a master in accordance with its will and interests free from the interference of any foreign forces.
    The three principles of national reunification--independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity--, the ten-point programme for the great unity of the whole nation and the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo set out by him are the most just and realistic great programme of reunification which is consistent with the steadfast idea of independent reunification and reflect the aspiration and will of the whole Korean nation.
    These three charters of national reunification are now shining as the highly important guidelines of independent reunification in the struggle for reunification. The cause of national reunification which started with independence and has won with independence has been put on a new high historical stage as it is advancing under the banner of "By our nation itself", the ideal of independence in the Songun era laid down by the WPK.
    Leader Kim Jong Il ushered in a new era of independent reunification, holding high the banner of Songun at the time when the country was undergoing the grimmest ordeals. The banner of Songun Kim Jong Il held higher following the President's idea and tradition of Songun is the most steadfast banner of independence, the banner of patriotism leading the cause of national reunification to victory. The Songun idea which clarifies the Juche-oriented philosophy of arms, the principle of arms has provided a sure guarantee for winning victory in the acute showdown of strength, the showdown of arms with the anti-reunification forces and accomplishing the cause of national reunification.
    The Pyongyang meeting and the adoption of the June 15 joint declaration were historic events of the nation produced by the Songun politics consistent with the principle of national independence, patriotic spirit and the WPK's policy of national reunification based on it and its initiative efforts.
    The Songun politics of the WPK which has brought the era of "By our nation itself" serves as the treasured sword of independent reunification which provides a sure guarantee for its victorious advance.
