Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from South Korea Urged

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

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- In order to establish national sovereignty throughout Korea and achieve the cause of national reunification and prosperity, all Koreans should struggle to have the foreign military bases dismantled and occupation forces withdrawn from south Korea. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday notes this in a signed article. It goes on: The reality proves that it is impossible to achieve national reunification, the true sovereignty of the country and national prosperity unless an end is put to the U. S. imperialists' policy of occupation of south Korea and their moves to provoke a new war.
    The U.S. imperialists chiefly responsible for the partition of the Korean Peninsula into two have built high political and physical barriers in a bid to block the Korean nation's development, prosperity, peace and independent reunification. It is due to the U.S. imperialists that the Korean nation with a history spanning 5,000 years still remains divided into the north and the south and has not yet achieved uniform development and prosperity in all fields of economy and social life.
    A tense situation always prevails in Korea.
    It is impossible to realize the people's desire for uniform development and prosperity wherever peace is disturbed and a tense situation persists. The June 15 era is the era of independent reunification in which the Koreans are paving the way for independent reunification through national reconciliation and unity. The Koreans are called upon to put a period to the U.S. policy of occupation of south Korea and drive the U.S. troops out of it in order to win back the sovereignty dearer than their life and soul and build a strong and prosperous reunified country to demonstrate the honor of the nation to the world, the article concludes.
