Intensified Movement for Korea's Reunification Called for

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

    Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday says in a signed article that the joint editorial issued by newspapers Rodong Sinmun, Josoninmingun and Chongnyonjonwi on the occasion of the New Year put forward a militant slogan to be held high in the movement for national reunification this year reflecting the unanimous desire and will of all Koreans. It goes on: "Let us vigorously forward the patriotic movement for independent reunification, peace against war and great national unity under the banner of 'By our nation itself'!"--this is the slogan put forward in the joint editorial to be held up in this year's movement for national reunification. Independent reunification, peace against war and great national unity constitute a main front on which the Koreans should focus their struggle at present and its main thrust. They are the goals the Korean nation should achieve and indicate the road to be followed by it.
    Independent reunification is the greatest desire of the Koreans and their supreme task and a final goal they should attain at present. Neither independent reunification nor inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation nor great national unity can be expected without a struggle for peace against war.
    Efforts to achieve great national unity mean a work to build a driving force for reunification and expand and strengthen it. This unity leads to independent reunification. Independent reunification and peace against war should be achieved through a struggle for great national unity. The slogan of the movement for national reunification for this year singles out independent reunification, peace against war and great national unity as a three-point patriotic movement, thus remarkably stirring up the patriotic enthusiasm of all the fellow countrymen and encouraging them to display it to the full.
    All members of the nation should fully display their patriotic zeal in the struggle to achieve independent reunification, peace against war and great national unity.
    Only when all Koreans display patriotic enthusiasm in the above-said patriotic movement under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself" as called for by the slogan contained in the joint editorial, the movement for independent reunification will make a dynamic advance and a new turning point will be brought about in the cause of reunification this year, the article concludes.
