Koreans Called upon to Advance Guided by Idea of "By Our Nation Itself."

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

    Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- The idea of "By our nation itself", the basic idea in the era of independent reunification, serves as a motive force enabling all members of the nation to discharge their responsibility and role in the movement for national reunification and a source of strength for victoriously advancing the movement, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. The Korean nation's movement for independent reunification has turned into a nationwide movement which involves all the Koreans, be they persons in authority or common people, irrespective of their ideology, political views and religious beliefs, the article says, adding:
    It has become a major trend of the history of the nation to advance guided by the idea of "By our nation itself." The historic June 15 joint declaration serves as a landmark for national reunification in the 21st century as it is a declaration on the independent reunification of the nation in which the Koreans in the north and the south committed themselves to solve the issue of national reunification independently by their concerted efforts.
    The basic spirit of the joint declaration is the idea of "By our nation itself."
    If Koreans are to discharge their responsibility and role in the issue of reunification, they should unite as one among other things. They have improved the inter-Korean relations and advanced the movement for national reunification since the publication of the joint declaration despite outsiders' vicious challenges to reunification. These successes and experience gained in it clearly prove that Koreans in the north and the south can reunify the country independently just as desired and required by the nation only when they fully discharge their responsibility and role in close unity as parties responsible for reunification. Herein lies the cause why the idea of "By our nation itself" serves as a motive force enabling all the Koreans to discharge their responsibility and role in the movement for national reunification.
    The idea also serves as a source of strength enabling the Koreans to wage the movement for national reunification as a nationwide patriotic movement, the article says, stressing the need for all the Koreans to hold high the banner of "By our nation itself" and vigorously advance the movement for reconciliation, cooperation and reunification under that banner no matter how desperately the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad may work.
